Does the website have a transcript of his press conference yesterday? The press coverage in the Chicago papers have him saying something about reparations for descendents of slaves and I'd like see exactly what he said.
Watch this issue carefully:
What he said was that, rather than cash payments as reparations, he favored exempting from federal income taxes those who could prove they were descendants of slaves - leaving out for example his opponent Barak Osama.
Now: How many of those who can prove they're the descendants of slaves actually have federal income taxes to pay? And how many instead are receiving "negative taxes" or rather the federal "earned income credit"?
Will the "exemption" from federal taxes mean the end of those federal handouts?
Would that be a bad thing?
