Hey Bob! Explain To Me Where The Annual $6B+ Goes...

...plus the millions in casino profits and land claim and royalty payments. And let's not forget the profits from cigarette sales. According to accounts in MSM very little goes to housing, health care, education, etc.

Bob Goulais: No padding to First Nations paycheques

Re: Aboriginal politicians' padded paycheques

The grass is always greener on the other side. I wish my new Palm Pre ran WindowsCE and had the same apps as my old Treo Pro. I wish my hair was long and straight rather than curly. But do we really wish we could be the Chief of Peguis First Nation and make $174,230 tax free? There are many people wish they could be an Indian and have everything tax free, free education and free housing.

Sorry to dispel these contemporary stereotypes. Nothing is free in the world, it all requires hard work. Most of us don't get free housing or free money. There are very few who benefit from the right to tax exemption - they must live and work on-reserve. The majority of us, like you, pay taxes. And very few First Nations students are "sponsored". We get student loans like everyone else.

About Me

My photo
I lean to the right but I still have a heart and if I have a mission it is to respond to attacks on people not available to protect themselves and to point out the hypocrisy of the left at every opportunity.MY MAJOR GOAL IS HIGHLIGHT THE HYPOCRISY AND STUPIDITY OF THE LEFTISTS ON TORONTO CITY COUNCIL. Last word: In the final analysis this blog is a relief valve for my rants/raves.
