Indian Gaming pays NO taxes to the local cities, state and federal governments.

Indian casinos are filled with non-Indian employees. If you think the tribes don't withhold state and federal taxes from those paychecks, you're very mistaken.

Oh, and even if the employee paychecks have some witholdings taken out of them, the Indian and non-Indian casino employees are still going without worker's compensation, state labor laws, and other benefits that you or I have working outside a sovereign nation's borders. There are numerous cases cited in the URL's that I gave you. It's a terrible mess and needs to be fixed.

Indian Gaming casinos are not like a corporation, small business or organization subject to the laws, rules and regulations of the USA. The state compacts don't even mitigate the actual infrastructure and social costs that a casino located
near an urban or suburban center generates. (You can thank the politicians who love all of that wonderful cash. They ain't gonna hurt the goose that lays the golden egg for them...yet.)
