Yes, a handout is the liberal form of addressing the problem. A tax cut is the conservative solution to give incentive to work

What, are you saying that Black People dont' work? That's a bit racist isn't it? So they need "incentive" to work? Since when? Every black person I know works, and pay taxes, and no one is holding them down. Why is that?

Much of Johnson's Great Society programs were aimed at blacks. Welfare gives the incentive not to work. A disproportionate number of blacks have used the welfare system, as you know, as it was designed, and the effect has been to give less incentive to enter the predominantly white workforce. An incentive to break out of that socialist system would help many, many people.

But incentives aside, it seems fair to first get rid of the slave tax (income tax) for those who are descendants of slaves.

Something has to be done, don't you think, in the interest of fairness?
