Dixie on the Dole?

If the programs are there and folks qualify, regardless of their political positions, they should go for them.

As many of you might know, I am not employed. I have a nice little nest-egg of investment, which provides me with an annuity which I live on. Most of this is foreign investment in various securities and bonds, and the amounts I receive are subject to relatively low taxation from the IRS. Last year, I paid less taxes than the average American earning $40k. I can afford to live a much wealthier lifestyle, but I am very modest and actually prefer living a modest lifestyle. I live in a modest older house, more like a cabin, and drive an older car. I have no debt, my kids are all through college now, and my expenses for living are modestly low. I like it this way, because I don't have to worry much about tax rates or the economy, or jobs or housing, or anything else, really.

Now, I am a conservative, always have been and always will be. I believe in conservative government, low taxes, more freedom, etc. However, with the 2012 election in the rear-view, I have made some important decisions. Since the candy store doors are wide open, and we seem to be in a phase where most Americans think government should pay for and provide everything for me, I am planning on taking advantage of as much as I possibly can in the coming years.

Because of my Native American heritage, I am qualified for several federal programs specifically designed to benefit my people. I've never applied for any of them before, but I will begin doing so in 2013. In fact, I have already started. My first objective will be to go back to college and earn my masters degree in psychology. It's something I declined to do back when I was in college, because I didn't think I would ever use it, so why bother? Well, if it's not going to cost me anything, and the government is going to pay for it, why not?

I also own a parcel of property in rural Alabama, which has belonged to my family for years. On this property, is an old family cemetery, where I have several relatives resting in peace. Now, come to find out, since they are also Native American, this property qualifies for federal funding as a protected national historic site. The government will pay for all kinds of improvements to the property, including paved roads, running water, electrification, etc. I have always wanted to build a hunting lodge out there, because it sits right next to a parcel which is the best deer hunting land in Alabama. I think I have it figured out so that I can build my hunting lodge and have the government cover the main costs. I am also checking into the prospects of opening a casino on the property, it's really in the middle of nowhere, but hey... so is Tunica.

For the past few years, I have been getting a quarterly dividend check from the Choctaw casinos in Alabama and Mississippi, and I think, Louisiana. But my mother recently moved back to North Carolina, where she is from originally, and since she now has a permanent residence, she is my natural mother, and I am her Native American son, according to the current government legislation, I am now legally qualified to receive dividends from the Cherokee casinos in Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina. So I will now be doubling my quarterly dividend check, thanks to what I am sure was some brilliant piece of 'liberal' legislation enabling me to do so.

Needless to say, my health care will be completely covered under Obamacare. I have a ton of stuff I need to have done there. I've had a pinched nerve in my back for years, and just haven't ever gone to fix it. But now, if government is going to foot the bill, why not? Hey, I am a Native American, dammit! I deserve it! I shouldn't have to live in pain!

It's an amazing thing I have discovered here, that I can qualify for so much free stuff from the government, and all I have to do is apply... and maybe complain. I've never really explored these opportunities before because I never felt as if I needed help. I've always been proud of my resourcefulness and ability to take care of myself and my family, but my kids are raised, an I am divorced, and have gotten older. Besides, we now live in a culture where it is cool to be the victim and needy, fighting against the mean old corrupt capitalist rich guy, who got there on the backs of the poor. And truth be told, there is no telling where my Cherokee and Choctaw families would be right now, if the government hadn't taken all our land and resources away from us. I might be an Indian Donald Trump or something?

You were always planning on that. You've made it clear that you only oppose welfare for minorities and lack anything resembling integrity.

(1) I know of no federal government program that provides free tuition for a graduate degree for members of Native American tribes. I imagine there are scholarships that one might qualify for, but the likelihood that a middle-age white guy going back to school on a lark will be awarded such a scholarship is questionable at best.

(2) I know of no federal government program that provides funds to develop Native American burial sites.

(3) There are only 78 National Historic Sites in the United States. I doubt your family's parcel of land in rural Alabama is going to qualify as #79.

(4) Given that you've said that you pay less in taxes than the average American earning $40k, I assume you receive income in excess of $40k, and likely substantially in excess of $40k. Under the circumstances, you probably won't qualify for any subsidy under Obamacare and will have to buy health insurance on your own nickel. Additionally, the government subsidized the procurement of insurance, not the purchase of healthcare.

Basically, you're full of shit.

There's the Pell Grant, of course. And there's an additional Pell Grant award for the middle aged returning to college. I know, because my better half is returning in Jan at the age of 44.

But Dixie, will all of his millions, tee hee, wouldn't qualify. Not only that, but college entrance exams require intelligence to pass. There's another mark against Dixie.

Additionally, there are literally thousands upon thousands of Indian cemeteries in Alabama. Most are located on government property, not private property, and the cost to "rehabilitate" them is astronomical.

Dixie proclaims his six million is stashed away in Germany, a nation that charges a flat 35% interest on investments. If Dixie actually had that kind of money, dontcha think he'd be smart enough to put it in Switzerland? Oh, wait. Scratch that one.

Having lived in the gawdawful state of Alabama in the past, I'm assuming Dixie lives in the Evergreen area, a wasteland of neanderthal inbred rednecks if there ever was one, with an unemployment rate pushing 15% of said neanderthal inbred rednecks living off the gubmint tit.

Envisioning an entire region of Dixies makes me shudder....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Historic_Preservation_Act_of_1966

The passage of the National Historic Preservation Act (NHPA) in 1966 established the National Register and the process for adding properties to it. Of the more than one million properties on the National Register, 80,000 are listed individually. The remainder are contributing resources within historic districts. Each year approximately 30,000 properties are added to the National Register as part of districts or by individual listings.

Guess you better read some more.

No Cost-sharing or Co-payments: Certain American Indians and Alaska Natives who purchase health insurance through the exchange do not have to pay co-pays or other cost-sharing if their income is under 300 percent of the federal poverty level, which is roughly $66,000 for a family of four ($83,000 in Alaska).

Reauthorization of the Indian Health Care Improvement Act

Within the Affordable Care Act, the Indian Health Care Improvement Act Reauthorization (IHCIA) helps American Indians and Alaska Natives as well. The Indian Health Care Improvement Act, which authorizes health care services for American Indians and Alaska Natives through the Indian Health Service, was originally approved by Congress in 1976 and last reauthorized in 2000. The Affordable Care Act makes the reauthorization of this law permanent and authorizes new programs within the Indian Health Service to ensure the Service is more equipped to meet its mission to raise the health status of American Indians and Alaska Natives to the highest level.

Again, looks like you need to educate yourself.

(1) You said "National Historic Site" which is a particular designation. There are only 78 of those, as I said.

(2) Link to something that shows that the government provides funds for the development of places listed on the National Historical Register.

300% of the poverty level for an individual (like you) is about $34,000. Assuming the income from your annuity is in excess of $34,000, you won't qualify for any government subsidies for the purchase of health insurance, regardless of your tribal status.

There's not a "link" per say. There are online resources you can register and sign up for, which will allow you to find the information on the various grants and scholarships available. There is indeed a grant available to Native Americans for post-graduate studies, funded by the Federal government and the AICF.

Link to the part where they pay people to develop parcels of land on which Native American burial sites are located.

Again, the Federal government doesn't just post a website to prove to idiots that such programs exist. It requires a great deal of research and investigation, but through the Indian cultural preservation acts, these funds are available for those who qualify.

(1) You said "National Historic Site" which is a particular designation. There are only 78 of those, as I said.

Yeah, I forgot I was talking to a moron who doesn't comprehend the difference between Federally-owned lands designated as National Historic Sites, and privately-owned property which can be designated as a historic site on the National Historical Registry. I should have been more clear, my bad.

And again... the Federal government does not post websites to inform clueless idiots about all the assorted funding available to you. Remember the loud-mouth guy on TV hocking his book, with the question mark suit?
200px-MattLesko-cropped.jpg
Federal funding is available for preservation of cultural historic sites. You just have to know where and how to apply for it.

300% of the poverty level for an individual (like you) is about $34,000. Assuming the income from your annuity is in excess of $34,000, you won't qualify for any government subsidies for the purchase of health insurance, regardless of your tribal status.

My annuity income will be less than $30k in 2013, because of some careful re-planning and re-structuring of my investments.
