If what you say is true, then I definitely admire you. It is wrong to paint and entire people with the same brush... was not my intent. Just pointing out where a lot of resentment comes from.

Don't get me wrong, I do not "hate" you... I just hate a system that is not fair... If your rez is self-sufficient then you are definitely the minority! Indigenous and Northern Affairs budget for 2015 was over 7 Billion dollars... that's a lot of taxes to pay to people who do not have to pay taxes on their gas and cigarettes and liquor.

Do you think that simply being born with "status" is part of the reason that most Canadian working people despise your people? I am 5th generation Canadian and it really pisses me off that my taxes support you... Natives in Canada are some of the most entitled and yet least productive people on Earth.
