The Indians are ripping us off? Then, don't go in the dang casino.

Perhaps what is eluded to here is the taxation issue. I don't know about California, but here in Washington state, Indians pay ZERO income taxes, federal or tax. There is an initiative on the ballot right now to charge them tax. I have to agree that the free ride is over for them.
Indians call it racist to pay taxes like the rest of us. Like the blacks call it racist to not give them bonus points in qualifying for jobs and education. Same thing.
Stop whining and be productive. THAT will make you equal.
What people do not realize is how much money the Casinos give to the surrounding communities. Here where we live they donated almost all the cost of a skate board park. And that money did not come with state strings attached.
I would much rather have the money spent here locally than go to Sacramento, be siphoned off in bureaucratic waste and then on a small portion of the original amount paid come dribbling back to the community.
As for going into the casion, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. But I agree with you. Noone every twisted my arm to go in.
