Keyes: Cancel tax bills for descendants of slaves
Aug. 17, 2004: Republican Alan Keyes came out in favor of giving descendants
of black slaves an exemption from federal income tax in his run against
Barack Obama for Illinois' Senate seat.
"When a city had been devastated [in the Roman empire], for a certain length
of time - a generation or two - they exempted the damaged city from
taxation," he told reporters yesterday in Chicago.
Long an opponent of "reparations," Keyes said his proposal was different.
It "has the advantage of letting people help themselves, rather then pouring
money into government bureaucracies that displace and discourage their own
efforts," he said. "It takes no money from other citizens, while righting
the historic imbalance that results from the truth that black slaves toiled
for generations at a tax rate that was effectively 100 percent."

And look how well it worked for him.
Keyes is an idiot and everybody knows it.

Speculations on whether someone has been having conversations instigated by the IRS are
now open.

Perhaps his way of paying reparations is without merit but at least he was
willing to address the issue.

You DON'T know any better than he does. Government doesn't base
spending on taxes collected, it bases taxes on spending. If some
people are exempted from tax, the others have to pick up the slack, so
it DOES "take money from other citizens". Citizens who, in many
cases, had nothing to do with slavery and aren't descendents of those
who did.
