Well, it's drilled into us everyday, Chad, that we are "to respect the Muslims and their religion" that have moved into our Country. That is fine. And I do. But when it's shoved down our throats and our own "Under God" is attached, something doesn't pass the smell test here.
Native Americans have been around longer even then when Columbus discovered this big piece of realestate.
I'm sure we all heard this week that the lawmakers are trying their DARNDEST to tax the INTERNET, and I believe that anything they can't touch for taxes is driving them nuts............
And that is why this is starting with the Native Americans. The lawmakers are really p*ssed that they can't touch them. heh!
Maybe. There isn't a lot of consistency in the arguments.
We are poor and haven't made anything of ourselves so our land and rights should be taken away.
We are rich (ha!) and have made something of ourselves and so our land and rights should be taken away.
If they are so upset over taxes then why don't they just lower them for everyone? People wouldn't travel to the reservations to gamble and buy alcohol and tobacco if they weren't being taxed to death on it at their corner store.
But maybe it is a simple as that we have gone to court to defend our rights and won and they didnt.
