My people emigrated here from Sweden and Ireland in the 20th century. Better exclude my tax money from reparations.

They've proposed commissioning a study; let's hope the study concludes "It's a terrible idea, it will simply amount to a handout to people who will squander it and which will do nothing to improve their condition".

Seeing as we're almost $30 Trillion in debt, it might as well be Monopoly money.


I think we're okay as long as no one in the world says this ^^^^ out loud.
OBVIOUSLY you're NOT helping things out by posting it here.

Note: For any younger folk on the board I'd recommend they use their money, while it's still worth something, to buy land (they aren't making that anymore) or something inflation proof. This is free advice and worth the price.

Are they in Oklahoma? I've never been to the reservation, and the last time I heard from relatives, was around 2000 or 2001. They didn't appear to be the "sharpest tomahawk s" either.

Not, that I'm a genius. But I did Sleep at a Holiday Inn
