Damn... what does it say about us that we ignore and allow this extreme poverty here and only give a fukk when middle class unemployment starts reaching the high single digits?

They don't vote.

The primary anxiety is competing casinos being hurriedly opened by states in pursuit of new revenue. But more menacing, tribes say, is a sophisticated and growing movement to legalize Internet gambling under state laws that would give those states the potential power to regulate and tax online gambling even on reservations.

Further, the current expansion of legalized gambling in the United States, and the prospect of more to come, could not have arrived at a worse moment for tribes, because after 25 years of booming profits, the tribal casino business has suddenly gone flat. The vast majority of tribes have not become rich. Instead, casinos have become a baseline economic necessity, lifting thousands out of poverty by serving as a primary source of income and employment.

i was skeptical because you cant cake like that without attracting the white mans attention... looks like the state is sharpening their cake knives

what checks people in the thread are talking about. i thought only if the tribe have some type of income stream (e.x:casino) then they get checks or do they get from the federal or state gov.
