It has been over 150 years since American Indians were put in TEMPORARY sovereign lands.
Palestinians were in Palestine almost 2000 years and have absolutely no sovereignty.
Neither did blacks get one single acre for having been kidnapped from Africa 200 hundred years ago. A welfare sate in oreder to keep blacks in perpetual slavery has been created instead and a bureacracy that has an existence on it’s own.
The courts determined that Indians like pupils in a school would have to be educated and incorporated into our system. In the 1930′s they gained the vote, and I think 100 plus years is enough time to graduate.
In some cases, Indians do not regard the state laws which is in violation of the US Constitution which delegates any powers not assigned to the US Government to be delegated to states.
Sovereignty, other than an ambassador is actually in violation of the US Constitution.
In this sate the Seminoles have cleaned house, billions upon billions in untaxed revenue, plus they get paid to boot, and are not subject to federal taxes either.
There is no calculating how much money the Osage, Cherokees and Seminole rake in
almost 200 years after the fact.
Let them keep their land, but the sovereignty should end, and they need to start paying taxes as well on all their earnings, including government handouts.
They lobby the state congress so that they can grab even more, unwilling to let anyone compete against them.
Let’s eliminate the department of Indian Affairs and insist that all untaxed money be used to get the Indian tribes that have remained in poverty up to par and end this once and for all.
All the Indians that were actually affected are pretty much long gone; the remainder, we do not owe one cent, too.
And we are all insane to continue subsidizing this crime.
