It isnt the fact that they were thrown another bone dipschit.

The problem lies in the way the treaties were writen and interpratated.
The thought that someone that has lost a father to a war while fighting for this country has nowhere near the special rites that someone that had a great great great grandfather that was a tribal member is ridiculous. It's like handing out checks now to the great Grandchildren of slaves. The fact that the people with the authority to sign them probably didn't have a clue as to what they were signing makes me ill.

better long term vision or better lawyers and judge
ya wanna live on American money ? be part of the team.

Too far out there!

If I held a gun to your head with the hammer back and my finger on the trigger. Then instead of pulling the trigger, I lowered the hammer and holstered my piece, you think I didn't give you anything?
You, sir, are an idiot.

Millions of dollars spent daily on the comforts for Illegal aliens-school, housing, food, health care.

Millions spent for "i cant work and support my fam" insurance and comp..


$1.2 mill-does not buy much Irie-but it kept some kids in sports (not that you would care) and upgraded out dated tools for school--more than what most would give effort too.

The analogy, dimwit, is the relationship the Feds had with the Tribes when they were herded onto reservations. They lost the war.....or were about to, before we (oh, never mind....you don't get that...the U.S.) "holstered" their weapons instead of wiping out the Tribes. Did the Tribes have it the way they wanted it? NO. Did they get the gift of allowing to continue.....YES.
And that was only the beginning of hand outs to the Tribes.

You are the reason that some folks have to go on and on explaining the simplest of things. Difference is, they care whether or not you understand......I don't.

The whole point Aunty was making out was that they don't need the grant. Pure and simple, they have the money but spend it else where. We are idiots to be giving it too them. Kind of like a freind I know whose kids live with him and refuse to pay rent. They pay for their kids to go to disney land, buy new cars and likewise. And why not, until he kicks them out they can do as they please. Its time we cut the gravy train for things we are not required by treaty to give to them. And remember, a large percentage of the time you see the tribe "donating money" its due to the requirements of their gambling compact, which requires public contributions instead of paying taxes.

The States are not sovereign nations you dolt.

And it is also not about Indian hating at all. It's about special treatment....and not about special treatment to bring things to a level playing field, it's about giving one race priorities over another, doesn't matter which race you choose, either. In this country we are ALL created equal. (I heard those words somewhere).

I am beyond done with you BWP. Somewhere along the line, you lost it, and it isn't my job to help you find it, but I hope you do.

The puyallup tribe is anything but poor. They give each member about $1800.00 a month. For those under 18, a large percentage is invested and kept in trust for them. I talked to a few young members who said their lump payment upon turning 18 was up over $100,000. But, the state and feds still pay for their schools, police, health care and much more. Some of it is mandated, but much is not. We are suckers to keep doling it out.
