Just saw my first Arnold Ad

he's typically republican. he wants to step on the poor people.

He was stating in the commerical he wants to tax Indian casinos like crazy in California.

being Canadian and living in the north I'm familiar with the native populations on reserves here and the troubles they have. Most live on welfare or worse. They grow up in an endless cycle of dispare and poverty. Casinos are one of the FEW industries that they seem to THRIVE at.
My belief always leans towards the path of least resistance. If Natives want to work in casinos LET THEM and ENCOURAGE them to do so. I'd rather see them working and having self worth than sucking off the state on welfare. Leave them the fuck alone - we've fucked them over ENOUGH thoughout history - let them at LEAST have a HINT of a chance at a life with some dignity making their own money. If that means some Tax breaks to get them off their asses - so be it. I've sceen the state support many reserves here and it isn't pretty.

A working Native is 1000X better than a drunk (or worse) native living off welfare - and costs a HELL OF A LOT LESS to society if they make their own money.
