I agree, but that's not what Keyes has said. He has never given any indication that he would raise anyone else's taxes in order to offset the reductions given to descendents of slaves. Now, if he were a Democrat, I'd simply assume that this was a part of his "plan," but I have a hard time imagining Alan Keyes arguing for an increase in anyone's taxes.
Someone else on this thread just made another great point in support of his proposal: if it gets African Americans thinking in terms of personal economic empowerment and tax reductions, the Democrats wouldn't win another national election in our lifetimes.
I keep bringing up what I think would be the worst unintended consequence of such a plan, which would be a deepening resentment of African-Americans as a whole. This country would be split into taxpayers and non-taxpayers; those who pull their weight and those who don't; those who leech off the taxpayers and those who don't....see what I mean? I don't think I'm overexaggerating this likelihood. Nobody should want this proposal to become reality, including blacks.
