And your point is ?  Let Speaker Boehner and the other Republican Plutocrats in Congress treat our already struggling seniors, disabled and Veteran's like our Government treated the Native Americans years ago. Maybe the Republican Plutocrats in Congress could save alot of money in taxes for their donors, if they put us 47% moochers on reservations too. Response to Government:

A lot of Indians are into casino gaming now, especially here in the south. Profits of 4+ million a week. I'd be up for that.Wink

Henry Ford was a rich guy who used people for  cheap labor plus he  owed  everything to the GOVT of we the people when he used our railroads,  roads,  educated people etc...all by the taxpayers or he would never be rich  or successful at all.    .  

I read your posts and hope you don't wind up like my senior friend's  son who is 46 years old.    He has cancer and been in treatment for a couple years....and .he lost his job, his house  and his insurance & is on medicaid and welfare plus he lives with his mother now cause his wife divorced him. His mother  is in her late 70's who is running out of money as well due to using up her priniciple savings because safe investments are paying nearly net zero.    

But for the grace of GOD you should be saying....there goes I. in many occasions.        You are a traffic accident or a dibilitating illness away from bankruptcy and much grief  in your life  and you don't recognize it and just mock people who are less fortunate.     You may get your's not that I'm wishing you ill-will....I'm just sayin....
