Re: Senatorial Election. It is not a campaign issue. Apparently you've taken the liberal bait. It was dug out of some old speaches of his. Nevertheless, Keyes is right, he also knows that it is impractical. It's not part of his platform.
re: reparations -- It's not reparations. It's a response to the reparation's hoopla. It's a moratorium on federal income taxes . . . a mere offshoot of long maintained support for abolishing the federal income tax. But I suppose we prefer seeing that none not suffer under the punitive tax system which discourages enterprise.
Blacks who could most benefit from an income tax reprieve don't pay income taxes now. Shaquille O'Neal and Oprah Winfrey, and Alan Keyes himself, would most benefit from Keyes' plan.
Asked to clarify himself, Keyes reiterated that an income tax holiday for blacks would be a good idea.
You actually favor exempting blacks from income taxes?
