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]

With a poverty rate of 25%[12], they are right along with the big cities
run by Democrats. Maybe
they should start voting Republican and get their education system fixed.

City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level
1. Detroit, MI 32.5%
2. Buffalo, NY 29.9%
3. Cincinnati, OH 27.8%
4. Cleveland, OH 27.0%
5. Miami, FL 26.9%
6. St. Louis, MO 26.8%
7. El Paso, TX 26.4%
8. Milwaukee, WI 26.2%
9. Philadelphia, PA 25.1%
10. Newark, NJ 24.2%

Typical narrow mindedness, take ONE statistic and ignore the rest.....

Why are these welfare dependent places long term poverty centers? You
would think with the government handing out help and money they could
quickly rise up the economic ladder.

Some do. You see, you are like a lot of others here, you think once
someone is on welfare, etc, that they never get off, no one ever makes
good, no one ever rises above it. Typical FOX rhetoric.

How many for the trillions spent on the war on poverty? Sort of like the
drug war. We have lost both. What is your suggestion? Throw more money
at the problem? And if it is that, where should we get the mone.

The place to start is to try and educate the ignorant on why racism,
bigotry and general anti-trust is just that, blind ignorance. You can
look at you and the right wingers here and just see by their bigotry
that THEY certainly wouldn't trust nor hire someone who's been on
assistance....

The funny thing is I bet you never hired anybody on welfare, or for that
matter anybody for a job. I hired a lot of lower income people over the
years. Lots were not very good workers, a few were. I and a partner owned
a medium sized porta potty business years ago. So we dealt with both full
time employees and casual labor. Plus I had a black fishing partner for
years. So where is the racism, bigotry. Unfortunately my partner gave up
fishing because of health reasons and has since passed away. Still see and
help his wife and family. I am a fiscal conservative. Why do you want to
spend the grand kids and great grand kids legacy? You want no pain from
bad life choices? Want the kids to have the pain instead of you? If you
are still working and worked for me and spent as much time as you do on the
internet during the day, you would replaced!

I work around 14 hours a day, dip****, if I take ten minutes to do what
I want from time to time, that's well and fine. I produce and make
money. I heard that bull**** about spending the grandkid's money when I
was a little kid, same bull****, different time.

Who the hell is going to pay off the 17 trillion and growing debt? 40
years ago, we owed less than 700 billion.
