Indians today said the Administration's plan to las tribal ? faming revenues to support the international trade goalsofthe United I Stales is an insult to tnbal sovereignty , and punishment for achieving economic success This action comes Vw^ on the heels of a White House ~ , commitment to work government to |T. government with the Indian Nations. ? The United States government is expected to lose SI2 billion over the .. next five years because of tariff reductions under the new General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade ,r iGATT). Because of the lost revenue. the administration proposes taxing ? tribal government gaming profits, which would generate an estimated $ 100 million in tax revenue The plan does nor call for taxation on the profits ,.of gaming operations run by state . governments or commercial interests. "Every dollar of tribal gaming r profits goes back into tribal ?j .communities, which are located in .some of the nation's poorest areas. That money is used to find vital social services." said Rick Hill, chairman of N1GA. "Gaming has given Indian people our first real opportunity at self-sufficiency. Why diminish this resource*'What about the commercial casinos in New Jersey and Nevada? We urge Congress to rise up in protest to this unfair and discriminatory tax an led* enterprises aod interests tubal leaders are calling die proposal an unprecedented encroachment on tribal self government and sovereignty Federal courts have long held that income earned by a tribal corporation within the bounds of its reservation, shares the same tax-exempt status as the tribal itself "At a tune when federal aid to reservations continues to decrease at an appalling rase, this tax would severely undercut the tribes' ability get people off welfare, create thousands of new jobs and provide essential social services such as education, healthcare and housing. " Hill stated The plan is expected to reach the House ways and Means and Senate Finance Committees by next week The administration is pushing for a House vote before the start of the congressional recess on August IS. The National Indian Gaming Association, established in I98S. is a non-profit organization of more than 100 tribes engaged in gaming enterprises around the country. NIGA is committed to advancing the livesof Indian people - economically, socially and politically Operating as atnufc association and clearinghouse, it works as an educational, legislative and public policy resource for tribes, policy makers and the public on Indian gaming issues and tribal community development. : aara Lee Hosiery Donates $500 .
