Should some Oklahomans be exempt from the state's income tax?

[BobbyV]

native american tribes are the only ones who can have racial requirements for citizenship in this country. The only organization that's allowed in our society to be racist.

If they are exempt from taxes, they would surely be exempt from all state services....like roads, unemployment ins, disaster relief funds, etc....

It cuts both ways.

Nope there’s estate taxes

Oklahoma has no estate tax and the federal is on estates over about $12 million. So unless you are pretty wealthy, I would not worry about estate taxes.

Why, yes. I think every Native American should be exempt from taxes. As long as they aren't an Oklahoma/United States citizen. Eliminate dual citizenship, eliminate benefits to anyone NOT a citizen, and the problem solves itself.

That’s fine by me. No state taxes, no state benefits.

Aside from the democrats of course

So what . . . you'd limit tribal members movement to their homes without a US passport?

I'm not sure I'd characterize being a tribal member as the same as holding true dual citizenship like for a completely different country, but you guys are free to see it that way.

I will say it's pretty pathetic that Stitt and the tribes seem to be doing a great job of driving wedges between everyone . . . and how people are seeming to just eat that up.

Dude, I'm a tribal member and so is my wife. What's pathetic is the dependency encouraged by the tribes. "Sovereign" doesn't mean "we do whatever because we're victims and you still have to foot the bill".

It's sickening to see how these clowns promote that victim mentality. Stitt wanting to treat all citizens the same really is oppression, now isn't it?

Supposedly, taxation is simply the price of membership in a society. In that sense, I understand... and have willingly paid... for my membership in this particular one. America's membership is (or used to be) really worth having.

However, I have no faith whatsoever in 1) the ability/capability or honesty/integrity of those who spend that tax revenue, or 2) the intelligence - or rather, the demonstrated lack of it - of those socialist Democrats who somehow manage to "elect" said uninhibited spenders.

"When does it stop?"
Somewhere between 35 and 40 % is my best guess. The Democrats want a VAT tax real bad but don't advertise it.
