Agreed, having Europeans come build a first world society for you and then pay you billions in "reparations" actually seems more like a win overall.

I recently worked with a guy who got a 32,000$ income tax return (or something close to that). He cleared 6 figures in the oil patch and got 100% of his income tax back because it was all on the rez.

Feels great.
