Cordially,
I agree with the principle, buy Keyes is really talking not of having other people pay but lower some people's taxes.
Keyes' magic of turning 'reparations' into what is in effect a large tax cut (similar to Kemp's 'enterprise zones' idea) is rhetorical brilliance in my mind. How else would you back Jesse Jackson into actually supporting LOWER TAXES???
To nip any "tax relief" vice "taxpayer subsidy" - money is fungible arguments, I think tax reductions are the path to reduced spending whereas tax subsidies are the road to tax increaseS. Even though, we haven't seen much of that from the current crop of RINOs in the House, the Senate, and YES - THE WHITEHOUSE!
