Sometimes I think solipsism is real and you're not...

I remember hearing this joke once about a new white wine.... "Waaaaah, we want a casino, too!" Some per capita getting tribes have even added their own twist to match the dialogue going on in their communities... "Waaaaaaah, we want a per capita, too!" Now I know you've heard the arguments going around the politically correct circles where ordinary suyapi's (white people) will state, no demand, that they are "Native Americans," too, because they were born to this country, therefore, they deserve casino's, per capitas... the whole nine yards. Well, I believe these "Native Americans" are finally getting their day in court..... I was at the local grocery store today and the check out clerks were complaining profusely that they have been very busy all day long. No breaks... None! There has been just too much traffic all day long. They just didn't get why all of this sudden spending... of course, the answer is obvious. Consumer confidence is up... When consumer confidence is up, consumers have a propensity to spend. Basic Economics 101. It's not hard to figure out.

See, most people by now got their letters from Uncle Sam, aka IRS, informing them that they will receive their per capita from the great Suyapi Nation. I even got one of those letters (just don't tell anyone because my tribe doesn't allow dual enrollment - it's a BIA thang). But the letter basically said that Congress and the Prez, with their brilliant thinking, decided to get together to pass a law that would give us a per capita payment within the next two weeks. $400 per child.... Woo hoo!

Officially, though, they are calling it an Advance Payment of Increase of the 2003 Child Tax Credit , but no matter how you slice it or dice it, it's still a suyapi per capita payment to me. So next time you are exposed to any of the new white wines, kindly remind those "Natives" to be thankful to their great Suyapi Nation for being generous enough to give them a per capita payment... This is the second year in a row now, so just give it up already! Stop whining, start spending, and remind yourselves that it is truly a great day to be Native....
