Those unpaid taxes are on the distributions to the members.
That ends up being about $48,000 a year per member.

Cite?

You are right, I was wrong, it is up to $160,000 per member

The tax obligations of the tribe and its members are expected to soar
because IRS examiners also are auditing the Miccosukee's gambling
distributions for the years 2006-2010, when payouts to each member
were as high as $160,000 annually.

Not a bad living just for being an indian.

That's a ****ing LIEN for taxes not paid!!!!! It has NOTHING to do with
the notion (and lie) that each person in the tribe gets money!!!!!

What part of "when pay outs to each member were as high as $160,000
annually." is so hard for you to understand?

"Each" implies they all get a payout, which they do.,

The IRS lien was for $170 MILLION against the 600 members.

The guy who hangs out and drinks with my drunken neighbor brags about
his $48,000. I guess he doesn't have enough feathers in his cap to get
the $160k. I am not sure this guy has ever actually worked and he is
about 40. He may have worked at the scalping station on Tamiami trail
a while tho.

What a bunch of bigoted blather. I thought better of you than that.

"The United States is home to 2.4 million Native Americans. In
comparison to the rest of the population, this number is a very small
amount (only .9%).[11] American Indians have historically lived in
extreme poverty. With the rise of Indian gaming enterprises, the problem
of poverty may have seemed to disappear. Yet, while Native Americans
have begun to take more control of their tribal economies and have begun
to improve situations, poverty on Indian Reservations is still a major
issue. The U.S. Census in both 1990 and 2000 indicates that poverty has
prevailed on reservations: to this day, Native Americans have the
highest poverty and unemployment rates in the United States of America.
The poverty rate of Native Americans is 25%.[12]"

Incomes of Native Americans tend to be low, and unemployment rates are
usually high. For example, the unemployment rate today on the Blackfoot
Reservation in Montana is 69%. This is a shocking comparison to the
national unemployment rate today, 9.8% (US Bureau of Labor) or even
during the worst part of the Great Depression, 25%.[13] According to the
2000 Census, Indians living in Indian country have incomes that are less
than half of the general U.S. population.[14] The US Census reports that
the median income of households based on a three-year average from 2003-
2005 was $33,627.[12]

Why don't the Indians get an education and jobs? Maybe it is government
handout dependence. Sort of like Chicago inner city 76% male school
dropout rate and a dependence on monthly government handouts. No incentive
to work.
