Do you think it's fair?

I just met with a twenty year old girl that makes over $30,000 a month!  No.  That's not a typo.  She is a member of an Indian Tribe and has never worked in her life, and never will.  

I'm not trying to be a racist or show prejudice, but wanted to know what everyone else's thought.

She gets this money from her tribes casino.  

Sound like a little too much or do you agree with it?

In the mean time...

Take care and beware,

I would rather they get money from there own casinos then the us government... I dont think it sounds like too much they share partnership in a business just like anyone else in this great country they have the right to make as much money as they want.

You're right.  I guess I was a little shocked and not to mention a little jealous that she walked right into that money.  I'm over it now.  I guess it would be like someone turning 18 and getting paid from a big trust fund.

Last I heard, residents of Alaska (or maybe those born in Alaska) get a "bonus" check every year because of oil production. I've never checked even though I was born there.

Just remember that tribe casinos are located on reservations. I've travelled quite a few places in the US, and I've never seen a reservation that non-tribe-members would want to live on. Also, a good bit of that casino money comes from members of the tribe who spend a good portion of their time in the casinos.
