So do I, well over a quarter and take non of the Federal funds.
First, support of the Republican party is wrong.
Next there is no reason in hell to tax the indian casinos. They give back to the communities they are in more than any other loophole hiding tax dodging offshore US company does. Where I am at nearly anything that is charity related or is just a good cause is funded a great deal by them. From rebuilding our public libraries, buying books for public schools, after school programs, low income housing and clinics, and the list can go on and on.
This is looking over the past injustices the Government performed to Indians in general, from broken treaties, reservations, to germ warfare.
The US gave them alcohol, they gave the US tobacco, the US took their land, they built casinos on it. All under treaties that should be honored.
