"...We give millions and millions of dollars to these Indians and expect them to know what to do with such wealth."
Truck's statements are designed to obscure the truth and create anger between whites and Indians. His tirade against casinos is especially incendiary because he compares Indians to 4-year olds who don't know what money is. I thought you'd be interested to know how irresponsible lots of people are with their money. Here's an article about lottery winners who lost their millions in a very short time. And here's an article from 2006 with interesting statistics about the average American's saving habits (they don't - they save less than $400/year).

It's so stupid how truck thinks only Indians do that.
I agree with Eleanor. I hate Truck and what he's saying on the radio. He's so obviously wrong. I'll bet that if we checked out his savings account, it wouldn't be any better than the savings he claims that Indians have.
I think it's rude that Truck does this.. Its got to be a bunch of people that are acting the way he claims. It is wrong for him to just blame the indians because of all of the crime, because theres a bunch of people that undergo this.
He's a major troll, and we all know what to do with trolls: DO NOT FEED THEM!
he is not a troll. He is a very ignorant human being, and a very cruel one. Trolls are fictional creatures
I am amazed that Americans on average only save about $400 per year!! I wonder if that is a result of not having extra money to save after paying bills, or if it is a result of poor financial planning. I'm thinking its probably a combination of both, but of course it depends on the person, their job, and their spending habits.
