Brown's recommendation for changing the taxation system makes much sense as a method to reduce the wealth gap between African Americans descended from slaves and white Americans. Her recommendations will have the added effect of reducing the concentration of wealth that is destructive to our democracy, which will coincidentally benefit all ethnic groups whose wealth is far below the top 10% of the wealthiest who are getting wealthier as beneficiaries of the current taxation system.
