You proved that Keyes is in favor of reparations for blacks. YOU proved what I said.
The fact that you oppose a tax break proves that you are no conservative.
Let me get this straight:
YOU are in favor of racially-based tax breaks, and I'm not, and I'M the liberal?
To say that letting a citizen keep more of the money they earn is taking anything from someone else is Marxist to the core.
Allowing tax favors based on race is a racial preference.
You are now in favor of racial preferences?
If I didn't think you were a liar I'd have to conclude that you can't read. He precisely based tax breaks on ancestral servitude. His plan isn't really reparations it's rectitude.
I can think of other groups who would deserve this too, based on harm inflicted by the government. Descendants of interred Japanese. Descendants of Bonus Marchers and other WWI Vets who were screwed out of their promised war benefits.
But the lamest most liberalized POV that you reveal in your thinking is that a tax break would cost someone else something. Apparently you don't beleive that "W"'s tax breaks stimulate the economy. Or that Reagan's tax breaks stimulated the economy and resulted in the largest fastest increase in revenue in history. Or that JFK's tax breaks stimulated the economy in the '60's. Maybe you're just not a Reagan, Bush, Rush type economy theorist. More of a Kerry/Karl type I think.
I laughed out loud when I read that one. The pretzel shapes people will bend themselves into to justify (or deny) this man's whacky position on reparations (and a couple of other things)! Ay ay ay!
