Ever been to a REAL REZ?

It’s a Welfare paradise. And a picture-perfect example of the human destruction and corruption wrought by a lifetime of gub’ment welfare.

Most will vote however the Tribe Leaders tell them to.

American Reservation Indians have the highest rates of poverty, unemployment and disease of any ethnic group in America.

In the early 1980s, then-US Secretary of the Interior James Watt commented that one did not have to go to the USSR or Eastern Europe to discover the failures of socialism. Those failures, he said, were evident on the reservations, which his department oversaw. Not surprisingly, the comments drew partisan attacks, and the press dismissed Watt as making “bigoted” comments.

For uttering this inconvenient truth, he was almost fired.

You are right on with your statements. I would venture to say that my tribe (Yurok, N. Calif. ) are probably about 90% Democrat voters. We are a little over 5000 Indians and the largest tribe in California. We do not have a casino although we have been okay ed and one is being started as we speak. That will not make us rich because our tribe is pretty much isolated from large communities. Most tribes have been on the dole for so many years now that they actually depend on it as a way of life. A large portion of our people live off the Rez so as to find jobs. The ones that cling to the Rez are pretty much welfare Indians. They have no incentive to better their lives.

The Democrats, every election year, love the Indians and promise them the moon but after the election, they get nothing until the next election and then they get a new promise. This has been going on for a couple hundred years and the Tribes never catch on. Of course you know that the White People put them in this situation and keep them there. There is plenty of fault to go around. Socialism works on the Reservations because they have a never ending supply of tax payers money to keep the system going.

Yep

Back in 96 I was in Glacier National Park hiking and ate in a restaurant near Browning several times and engaged the woman who owned the eatery in political conversation —She was also a conservative

She said the white ranchers etc in the area absolutely hated LBJ because of what his GREAT SOCIETY did to the Indians in the area
