Indians don't have to live on reservations. They are free to leave and are given every advantage outside of them. Why do any of them stay?

That's not the point. They shouldn't have to deal with these types of conditions when tons of money is being spent pampering illegals.

I hear you. But I don't think American taxpayers should be forced to give our money to either group.

Indians are free to make their own money and improve their conditions, just like anyone else. It's the higher ups in Indian government who force those conditions on their own people. So yes, it's a perfect example of socialism.

The money gets to their "leaders" whom never allow proper audits or help with dispensing it. The last time the government came close some cunt of an "elder" went on a hunger strike to prevent her corruption from getting exposed.

Why does anyone stay near their families? Because it's their way. Some leave and come back with tools and ideas to help. But as Russel says in the video, the laws and the Bureaucrats make it nearly impossible. Then you have the Casinos that pull the tribal members into that lifestyle along with "guaranteed income..." This guaranteed income from the tribe because of the gambling and liquor profits serve also to tie them into the Rez. Golden handcuffs + Family + Culture and you have them tied in to the rez. It sucks

Are you saying that each person gets a check from the profits of the casino, and if they buy a house off the reservation they will no longer get it?

the point is those Indians who choose to remain on the reservation and live out a dependent life on government handouts is functionally equivalent to the voter who chooses to vote for the democratic socialist candidate instead of the fiscally responsible and liberty-of-the-republic honoring candidate. Two choices, two realities. Simple.

What do you know of choice. Your culture, your people, your life, taken from you and all that is left of it is on the Rez, none want to be dependent on the government, the government programs made this, it needs to be fixed, you are not a part of that reality with your ignorance. And Indians are from the country India, Columbus got it wrong and you continue the colonial rule thinking one can walk out of nowhere, uneducated, unsupported, to live your life?
