Thought there were plenty of jobs around the Ft. Peck area? What seems to be the problem? Racist or something?

Wow. Big numbers there. Why do Montanans hate the Indians so much?

You know, I was thinking, this would provide a great opportunity for OT.

He could ask for a federal grant and employ many of those poor Indians (the very Indians upon whose former land he grazes his cattle) doing archaeological work on the North Pasture.

Think of the benefits.

He lowers the unemployment rate, he uncovers more evidence that SittingBull shacked up on his place, he milks the taxpayers yet again, and he can feel good about himself as a good liberal should.

It's win win win.

The only problem I see is that there'd likely be another Indian war in Montana after about 3 days of those poor redskins having to listen to the fatman.

Most not working- don't want to work... Some own land/oil wells and live off the royalties and tribal payments- but many can't pass the p*ss test required of many jobs.... Booze and drugs are rampant on the rez....

We made a huge mistake when we told them we would make them "wards of the government" and furnish them everything in exchange for their land - some still live that way... Government housing, SNAP, Commodities, annual tribal payments, no property/vehicle taxes, etc. ,etc-- now the Cobell payments-- they don't need to work... Gives them time to party or peddle drugs....

But those that want to work have every opportunity including government subsidized educations... And many have become very successful... I watched several tribal members from both Belknap and Peck with big grins on their faces as they sold their calves at the local salesbarn today...

Oh I see. They live on that great plantation set up for the minorities by the Democrats. You know..... the Great Society!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

You should take 2 W's advice. Instead of being a fat lazy bum, you'll be a fat lazy entrepreneur bum. :wink:

About the drugs. Did Stacy spend a lot of time on the rez?

Didn't you know, the Sheriff's Department arrested her there. ID'd her by her teepee ring.

When the deputies asked the natives why they allowed her access that is normally forbidden to outsiders, they replied, "white squaw smoke mean peace pipe".

Are you calling south side Chicago a reservation?

Natives and negroes both need and want to work (with obvious exceptions), but anytime a wacko rightwinger crazy suggests throwing off the shackles of entitlement, there's a socialist calling them a racist.
