I would love to see your source on this. Last I heard the tribe proposed that idea long ago and were told flat out NO. Bringing that up again really intrigues me.

It's news that keeps pumping out of the fish wrap factories in the TC. That is only one of many articles that I have skimmed. I'm not saying it will happen, and I don't even think it has much chance as the Gov. openly stated that he doesn't think the money is as stable as they are claiming.

My point with using the White Earth tribe's casino information is that there are plenty of non-taxpayer options that have been thrown out. Meaning, there's no guarantee that the State/County money used for the stadium would be from the taxpayers until the details are released.

And what I'd say to those people, no matter where their allegiances lay, is how ludicrous that line of thinking is. Taxes are mandatory. No one is forcing ANYONE to go to casinos and blow their money. Thus, taxes =/= gambling.

It is much akin to the so called "Green Bay Packers Stock", except that would be a tax on the stupid.

That stock looks incredible in the its frame, and I paid less for it than you had to pay for that sodomy Zombie gave you. [mfing]

It has nothing to do with conservatism and everything to do with taking advantage of the weak and downtrodden.

Gee, can't you people get it straight? Everything guvmint does is because they're there to help you.

(sarcasm)

Individuals might care for the poor. The government is simply so good at defrauding them (unlike idiot corps) that everyone assumes they're the good guys.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
