Im not going to ask that because I don't support a tax for the rich that only goes to black-owned businesses. You are too narrow in your use of that additional tax money.
You are missing the point. They don't care about black-owned businesses. That's an excuse to distract you.
For any excuse a Republican gives you, ask "would you be willing to spend tax dollars to fix that problem?" There's only two reasons they will say yes (I thought up a second one after my last comment):
They will make money personally on the scheme.
They will propose tax cuts to "fund it" that result in defunding other programs. These cuts will be greater than the program funded, resulting in net tax cuts.
I'm sorry, I honestly don't know where you're going with this. What are you trying to accomplish by asking them this?
