One Nation Under God – Divided
Contribution from a county resident:
Doge has been auditing and cutting waste, fraud, and abuse out of many government agencies. As most have known, there was many kickbacks, money funneling and outright fraud taking place.
It’s said that when people begin to scream you must be over the target. Many organizations claiming to be churches have funded themselves with tax dollars bringing in illegals and worse as they walked on the other side of the street for those in need in our own country. Not only have their parishioners tithed to these organizations/churches but then these people paid their taxes to fund them as well. How many poor vets and single mothers have been allowed to die laying on our streets and benches in our cities as these organizations brought in more people? The sad disgusting thing about this is that they did it in the name of God. What happened to separation of church and state? God does have an immigration policy, and He also put borders on the countries and cities for a reason.
So well funded and yet still poor?
How many people have screamed about the rich paying ‘their fair share’? How many have wanted all the homeless to be housed and fed? How many have said we need to care for our poor? All the while, we have seen abuse of the system over and over by those who are demanding these programs. It was recently said that Tribes are now scared their funding is being taken. What if they don’t pay into the system they take from? Whose fair share should be disbursed to care for people who don’t contribute? We can see all kinds of empty buildings that are owned by Tribes and yet there never seems to be enough to house people. Tribes have received countless millions and yet it’s still not enough to pull the people out of poverty. Federal spending increased by 99 times or more, but what about per capita checks? (updated-financial-summary). Water rights settlements and other federal funding (climate resilience, infrastructure, environmental justice) in not a very distant past add up: $157,000,000; $37,000,000; $250,000; +? AI generated search results show astounding figures, but they are not auditable.
Medical procedures are said to go denied and the county is made to house many criminal tribal members at the taxpayers’ expense as the Tribes and prisoners sue the county for not having enough space to house all the people. This double standard must end if there is ever to be equality. There is never going to be peace between the people when standards aren’t the same for all. Let’s not even get into the per cap checks handed out quarterly just for being alive. People have just been told that because of the funding cuts President Trump is allowing we are now once again ‘causing harm’ to the natives. There is no other group of people so well funded and yet still poor. Joe and Jane taxpayer’s taxes were sent to Ghana for transgender support. Our Joe taxpayer vet sleeps in his wheelchair in downtown _______ (fill in the blank) hoping to qualify for help while we funded sex changes on mice.
Division due to manipulation of the marginalized
People should be tired of the double standard and tired of those who don’t contribute, who cry around about the rich paying their fair share. If we don’t all become ONE NATION UNDER GOD, we will certainly collapse under the weight. There is no one nation under the current system. We are divided. That is how we have been robbed blind by the unethical agenda we have endured till now. These people have taken the marginalized and the minorities and manipulated them to enrich themselves. In contrast, the enrolled adult members of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Sioux Community received approximately $1 million per year from casino profits in 2012. The included link is a story about this fact.
The article on the 5 richest tribes below shows just how much we have been funding these communities who don’t need it.
Questions that need to be asked…
So, tribal members on the Flathead Reservation who live in substandard housing need to ask themselves and their tribal council why that is and why they may be denied medical procedures and why they have been given only small per cap checks when these other tribes are so much richer. Then tell American taxpayers why the funds given to their Tribes has not been enough.
