NY Gov. starting a tax war with Native Americans

It does not matter if the governor is legally blind, or legally black. It does not matter of some of your best friends are native people. What matters is that this is unequivocally WRONG. It is another example of the patterning, the historicity, of the violation of treaties with indigenous people. The rhetoric of violence is a lie. A bald exaggeration, and, given the decimation of native populations, the theft of their land, AND their culture, including their spiritual practices, we should be appalled and outraged, IMO, that another slap in the face is given under the unspoken "common good." Just fries my grits.
