Exempt
A man of color addresses US Congress members.
The time came for him to speak. “I'm a man of color. That still hinders me. But I know that I’m better off than my ancestors by a long measure. All I’m asking is not remuneration, compensation, or reparations. Just to be exempt from all taxation. Everyone from all walks of life. All Americans should no longer pay taxes on income. Now consumption may be an exception. Contracts may be an exception.”
“How else will the government get its money?”
“It will only receive money by voluntary trade instead of force. I yield my time.” Bravo Mickey then sipped water.
