exempt those who are the descendants of slaves, who bear the wounds, in fact, of that legacy, exempt them from federal taxation for a certain length of time. And in doing so, without taking money out of anybody else's pocket, you give them an incentive to work, to save, and invest, that would help to put a strong foundation under their future.

Except that the rest of us have to make up for the taxes that Michael Jordan (and presumably Alan Keyes) would not be paying.

Why does Oprah Winfrey need an incentive to save and invest?

Keyes is totally and completely wrong to buy into this "legacy of slavery" nonsense. There is not a single progeny of a slave alive today that is hamstrung by that fact.

It's a convenient excuse for black failure, however.

Tell it to somebody who thinks you have a leg to stand on.

I proved you wrong on the points I said you were wrong on. Something you are too cowardly and hypocritical to ever admit.

The fact that you oppose a tax break proves that you are no conservative. (As if that isn't blatantly obvious from your daily ravings.) To say that letting a citizen keep more of the money they earn is taking anything from someone else is Marxist to the core.
