Don't bother calling the police. When the state government is doing the robbing it isn't a crime.
Two Republican legislators have threatening to outlaw slot machines unless the tribes renegotiate their agreements with the state. Here are newspaper stories about the Indian Fighters' blackmail scheme: http://startribune.com/stories/587/4643298.html http://www.twincities.com/mld/pioneerpress/8099405.htm From the articles it is clear that the Governor's office and the Republican House are involved in the Indian Fighters' blackmail scheme. This is just the beginning! There are lots of other minority groups out there that "we" (rich white people) can rob! What about the Jews? During the Middle Ages Kings financed their wars and built palaces by property confiscation and blackmail of Jewish communities in Christian Europe. If the Jews are smart they should bring bags of gold to the State Capitol. Immigrants are always vulnerable to blackmail. There are plenty of ways Republicans could put pressure on immigrants. If immigrants paid more blackmail rich white people could get more tax cuts. If women can't make it to work some days because of the bus stike, will they be fired? Maybe the boss could take you home after work. Maybe the boss will take you to a motel, instead. There must be ways to make African Americans pay more and work for less. Do transit workers have a good health insurance plan? Not as good as the birthright of every Canadian, of course. We can pay their blackmail. We can belive their lies. We can squabble among ourselves over who is paying their fair share of blackmail and who isn't. Or we can unite against our real enemy.
