A precursor for tax cuts?

He's suggesting a tax exemption for two generations...that's 40+ years. If he wants tax exemptions for blacks descendants of slaves for the next 40+ years, then he must think that there will be taxes for the next 40+ years, otherwise how exactly would you exempt someone from paying taxes?

This stunt will cost him dearly.

In the early days of slavery there were American Indian slaves also. Shouldn't they get this reparation also? Also they should give white decendants of share croppers reperations also, after all the practice was endorsed by the Souther States after the Civil War and completly ignored by the Federal Government till the 30"s or so.

The other issue regarding this tax proposal is that tracing the direct descendants of slaves is going to be difficult...There were many freed black men of the North...do we go right back to the 1500's....or do we go back to when this country became a country in 1776 and start there. Do we sue the British and Spanish in helping with this tax reduction since it was under their watch black slavery started?(we inherited this system of slavery when we kicked out the British)

You see what what problems implementing this tax reduction will ultimately bring about?
