INDIAN CASINOS
Gary Bauer makes some decent points about Indian gaming as racial discrimination. But the article reminded me of something else even more interesting. A few months ago I played in a poker game with a guy who is as pale as Danny Elfman and he mentioned that he gets a share of Indian Casino money every month. He gets something like $14,000 a year for his 1/16th heritage. He lamented that his daughter won't get any money because she's too far removed. This was a good example of government do-gooderism. This was meant to help poor people on a reservation, not people who barely known their heritage. The guy could have passed for Swedish.
