Not a conservative conspiracy to end indian subsidies. The tribe that did not take federal aid does very well on their own and live well. Your blog entry inflames more division in our country, unfortunately. I was sadden by how much poverty there continues to be in the indian nation that is given so much help.

Ok tell me what is the poor area in the US? a Lakota Reservation. 4 of the top5 poorest counties in the US are RESERVATIONS without healthcare, even HHS. Stossel would be dead within a week in any of those counties.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-40799907087764490562011-03-26T14:18:15.903-07:002011-03-26T14:18:15.903-07:00"...but they would also be the first to offer..."...but they would also be the first to offer a helping hand or take up arms to defend this land of hateful people..."<br /><br />I have some experience with seeing how Native communities honor and respect war veterans.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-24680501635553863972011-03-24T22:12:07.710-07:002011-03-24T22:12:07.710-07:00Burt said

Maori are subject to terrible, untrue and unjust 'welfare bludger, violent thug' stereotypes despite the fact they often are the first to offer a helping hand and do what they can for those in need in their communities and in Aotearoa (New Zealand).<br /><br />Stossel sounds like a moron.Jainehttp://www.alivenotdead.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29769707.post-64845927189010740182011-03-24T20:46:13.524-07:002011-03-24T20:46:13.524-07:00Natives should be the wealthiest people in America...Natives should be the wealthiest people in America, but the creation of a federal agency to overlook Indian monies and land royalties is only one example of using people as statistics to embezzle and siphon funds to third parties. Only today, it is happening to all Americans, natives and non-natives alike.<br /><br />Its the oldest game in America. In the old days, Indian agents got rich and greedy by getting in bed with industrialist and corporate heads.<br /><br />Instead of casting blame on an entire race of people that for the most part never asked for a BIA or federal annuities, but were forced by gunpoint, Stossel should examine where and whom today this cycle of corruption still exists, beginning with the same people and industrialists from over a hundred years ago running things today.<br /><br />A poor man goes to prison for stealing food to feed his family while a corporate executive goes to congress to steal from the nation. This is capitalism folks.<br /><br />Natives will be the first to tell you they only want a job or an opportunity like everyone else, but they would also be the first to offer a helping hand or take up arms to defend this land of hateful people.<br /><br />Stossel needs to look at who the real moochers are, probably his bosses, instead of laying blame at the most unemployed and overlooked people on the continent.Burtnoreply@blogger.com
