I'd say that the Indians in California pay enough to the state, and more than enough to the feds.

Rather than demanding that the indians pay more, why not concenrate on getting your state government to spend LESS?

Just an idea. :0)

Because the Indians aren't running trailers with a bit of gaming, they are getting into agreements with Las Vegas casinos where they are made into profitable mosters for both and a unfair tax shelter.

Let them pay what is reasonable. Currently my understanding is they pay Zero. The payments often are usually short term payments to non-casino indians who don't have convienent land access for a casino. Eventually those payments in a few years become zero and they'll keep everything. That is stupid.

In most cases, nothing goes back into the economy.

That is not reasonable.
