“...$3.4 billion government settlement with Indian trust beneficiaries...” Why do we need to give the Indians any more money? Enough is enough, let them live off thier casinos!

Statements like yours are so stupid one wonders where to start. I'll try: one: the money isn't being "given them" it was stolen from them by the Gov. and is now being returned. Two: Tribes with Casinos is a minority. My tribe is poor and they have no Casino. Three: tribes in Calif that do have Casinos pay into a reserve that is distributed to poor tribes like mine and many many other. Four: That money that was stolen from them was from where the Government leases Indian owned land out to others (whites) like grazing lands and such and put in a fund MANAGED for them by the U.S. government.

So when one knows absolutely nothing about the subject it might be best to just shut up instead of showing your blatant ignorance.
