[Mpls] Blackmail scheme targets Indians

[Ed Fesler]

   Don't bother calling the police. When the state
government is doing the robbing it isn't a crime.

   Two Republican legislators have threatening to
outlaw slot machines unless the tribes renegotiate
their agreements with the state.

   Here are newspaper stories about the Indian
Fighters' blackmail scheme:

   From the articles it is clear that the Governor's
office and the Republican House are involved in the
Indian Fighters' blackmail scheme. 

   This is just the beginning! There are lots of other
minority groups out there that "we" (rich white
people) can rob!

   What about the Jews? During the Middle Ages Kings
financed their wars and built palaces by property
confiscation and blackmail of Jewish communities in
Christian Europe. If the Jews are smart they should
bring bags of gold to the State Capitol.

   Immigrants are always vulnerable to blackmail.
There are plenty of ways Republicans could put
pressure on immigrants. If immigrants paid more
blackmail rich white people could get more tax cuts.

   If women can't make it to work some days because of
the bus stike, will they be fired? Maybe the boss
could take you home after work. Maybe the boss will
take you to a motel, instead.

   There must be ways to make African Americans pay
more and work for less.

   Do transit workers have a good health insurance
plan? Not as good as the birthright of every Canadian,
of course. 

   We can pay their blackmail. We can belive their
lies.

   We can squabble among ourselves over who is paying
their fair share of blackmail and who isn't. 

   Or we can unite against our real enemy.
