Just a thought.

Chief was asked by a white government official, You have observed the white hi-tech progress. 'Judging all this, where did whitey go wrong?'
Chief replied. 'When white man find land, Indians running it no taxes no debt plenty buffalo plenty beaver clean water. Medicine man free. Indian spend all day hunting fishing; all night having sex.' Then the chief leaned back and smiled. 'Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that.' Got-ta Love my Indians..
You figure a Government big enough to give you everything, is big enough to take away everything you have.
