If you knew the amount of your tax money that goes to support these reservations, you would blanch. They get free this, free that, pay no taxes, and it goes on and on.

If you knew the amount of corruption that exists in the Indian community among the Indian leaders, again you would blanch.

“If you knew the amount of your tax money that goes to support these reservations, you would blanch.”

John Stossel did a very good report on this. He also covered a tribe that rejected government support and started businesses, (embracing *gasp* capitalism).

The government supported tribes have huge unemployment, rampant alcoholism, and are just generally miserable.

The tribe that rejected the government support is thriving.
