just a thought i had, with the native americans being sole nations unto themselves, then why in the world do we as white/black/yellow americans support them in our welfare state system.
we as americans do not support any other sole nationality in our welfare system, why do we do the indians.
they recieve pitance's from the b. of indian affairs, from alihol and tabacco sales, gambling on reservation and even fireworks sales. why in the heck do we have to support the soverengn poeple of the american indain nations with welfare too?
if the indaina nations are working to better themselves, good for them, i i heard where the nation of a tribe outside of washington actually built an large home and farm for a big player in the tribes affairs and all the money came out of the profits. but the rest of the tribes people are in such poor finances that the can not meet low income standards, ie: welfare!!! an guess whom pays for it buddy, you me and every sucker on the water and or sitting in a duck blaind or on a hot deer trail.

thnaks so much for my time to speak; here me now.
if they are a soverengn nation, then let the goverment loan them money and they will have to repay, just like any other world nation.
