Indian casinos SHOULD NOT be forced to share ANY revenue. They are SOVEREIGN NATIONS. One sovereign does not need to ask permission and share ANYTHING.

That said, they should also not be entitled to ANY FedGov subsidies, compensations, grants, etc. Federal funding should be COMPLETELY CUT to all tribes.

The goal of every tribe is to be self sufficient, but the membership does not realize that as long as they have to ask permission to do something on their rez, or share revenues from their ventures with a non-tribal entity, they will NEVER be self sufficient and will ALWAYS be under the thumb of FedGov.

Much like the position we non-tribal Americans find ourselves in. Whether it be Seasoned citizens asking for more handouts, or welfare mothers asking for handouts or whatever the case may be - the goal of EVERY AMERICAN, black, white, yellow, brown and every shade in between should be sustained self sufficiency.

"They are SOVEREIGN NATIONS"

If they're really sovereign nations, it's illegal for them to make campaign contributions to US politiciains, interfere in US elections or to hold a US political office.

Before you flame me, I'm only saying the tribes are only sovereign to a POINT.
