Native Americans

I really think that it is a shame that we persecuted the Natives. I think that Indian reservations are sort of like a black on America. We've set out a small section of land here and there for these people to live on. It's pathetic. New York State does not have any right trying to tax the Indians on their cigarettes. In doing so, they are breaking a treaty. Of course there are loop holes now that politicians can slip through, but it still does not justify the killing of thousands of Natives and the spreading of filthy diseases. I think its a good idea that the Indians are able to sell cigarettes that are tax exempt. For those of us who enjoy smoking, it serves as a more affordable way to get your fix and bypass giving the state your money. It's only fair to allow the Natives to keep the little land we allotted them.
