Its a schitting complicated problem.
Its not about the nail.........
What is complicated? The current system doesn't benefit anyone.
Either they are sovereign nations, or they are not. Like many things, it's only complicated if you make it so.
You've a different perspective and I'm honestly interested in what you have to say on it.
It aint much of a perspective!
I have been around enough Indians and lived between two not very prosperous reservations long enough to realize that Indians just dont think the same way we do.
Maybe their development was stunted once the Reservation system was initiated?
For better or worse.....mostly worse I guess.....we are stuck with the system we have. No one is going to schit can the Welfare state. Cut these people loose.
So, in the mean time.......I really dont get two bowed up when they wanna play Sovereign Nation.
We give zillions of dollars to foreign countries..........those pricks dont turn around and spend the money in our Casinos and WalMarts!
We get it all back......in the name of a booming economy. Thats one thing about Injuns.....they dont save for a rainy day.
Why would ya? Uncle Sam gonna wipe his ass with the last treaty you signed......or the neighboring tribe gonna steal all you got and take your food and women.
As far as things go.....the Rez system and welfare is probably the most cost effective way of dealing with them.
