    Red face $200,000 in Free Government Money to Every Native



    Wow, I didn't realize that Native Americans got government checks in the mail each month just for being Native.

    No wonder the blacks want reparations as well!

    $200,000 in free government money just for graduating high school? What a deal!

    I can see why local whites might be upset and jealous...

    What are you talking about? The starting getting their share of their tribes casino profits when they turn 18. How is that government money? Oh wait, liberals believe all money belongs to the government.

    It's interesting how all liberals are able to take a factual event and slant it to fit their political ideologies, making it seem as though what they say is legitimate....

    I guess that's why fake news is so rampant today.

    It's tribal government money, redistributed to the masses.

    Did you watch the video?

    Pretty fucked up how if you are .28% not Native enough you don't qualify.

    Those $1000/month checks from the tribal government add up from birth so that once a Native turns 18 they get a big payout.

    Sounds to me like you are more than a tad jealous, ...Indian culture is more along the lines of extended families rather than citizenship. So what if they want to share amongst the "extended family"? If you don't understand Indian culture enough to know this, how about just myob and stfu.

    Why didn't accurately title your thread then? It's tribal money not U.S. Taxpayer dollars.

    Kind of ironic to have a liberal complaining about someone getting something for nothing.

    As were all those white kids in that video clip posted above, who thought it was unfair that certain kids were getting big payouts upon graduating high school based solely on the color of their skin, or percentage of their DNA make-up or whatever.

    Doesn't it beg the question though? Why can't the US government run casinos like those tribal governments do and share the proceeds with every citizen?

    Why can't white people get their free government checks in the mail as well?

    I'm not complaining that they're getting free money, I'm complaining that the rest of us aren't.

    The Kalamath Tribes can give THEIR money to whomever they want. It's their money. So, they're giving tribal money to Native Americans, so what?

    If I were a millionaire and decided to give $100,000 to some inner yute just because he was black, would you be complaining about that, too?

    Like I said, it's their money to do with as they wish. I'm glad they're helping out their own Native Americans. It's more than our government ever did for them.

    Absolutely. It's a beautiful thing. Their government looking out for their own people.

    It's more than our government ever did for us, as well.

    Damn, all the social programs the government spends money on, and you say they don't do anything for the "people". What a jealous, and extremely stupid useful idiot you are. It's all about you isn't it?

    Geez.....,

    I'm sure you're not complaining, because you're getting a monthly SS check in the mail from Uncle Sam.

    Too bad we have to wait until 62 to get that. Natives get theirs at 18.

    How old were you when you got your free "three hots and a cot"?

    Really gripes your socialist ass, don't it? You do realize that Indian Nations are exactly that, nations in and of themselves. They can abide by their own beliefs and cultures. If you want to live by your beliefs... Venezuela awaits. Go and don't come back.

    19 -- but that's not the kind of "government benefits" I had in mind.

    Free housing, room and board, isn't all its cracked up to be when you can't ever leave or venture out of it.

    If you want to live by your beliefs... Venezuela awaits.
    I was thinking more along the lines of a Scandinavian country like Norway or Sweden.

    But just like Canada, it sounds like they have a pretty tight immigration quota on American ex-pats.

    I don't want a check from the government. I like the satisfaction of earning more than they would ever give me.

    The only thing that indian money has to do with any of us is that is comes from white people who are dumb enough to gamble it away BY CHOICE. They are a Indian nation and can do what ever the hell they want with it. But rather than adding to the national debt for spending money they don't have its based on revenue they are actually generating, what a concept. And based on the color of their skin? Its based on being a member of the tribe, which you and I aren't. I don't have a problem with it at all.

    Why can't our government do the same thing? there isn't a way of generating enough revenue to dole out money to everyone in the US for doing nothing. Besides, life on an Indian reservation aint exactly the ideal model of socialism. I'll keep working for a living, thank you.

    Big difference between SS and the tribal checks you are talking about. SS we pay into, whether we want to or not, we are getting our money back (granted many people now get more back than they put in including interest, but it was designed as a government forced savings account). The tribal checks come from the profits of casinos that are not frequented by Native Americans but by others. So they are not redistributing wealth by forcing people to pay, they are enticing people to come to their facilities and spending their money which is then split between the members of the tribe.
