I think the problem with taxing goods on the reservations comes from the fact that non-natives aren't going to go to the reservations to purchase goods anymore, therefore the state would essentially be killing what little livelihood Indians have. Also we have to ask: how would you distinguish someone from a NYS resident and a Native. What about people that don't live in the state? I mean anyone can say they're not a NYS resident. Would they have to show proof? And then you have to question why do people who don't live in NYS have to pay sales tax to the state?
I don't know, I feel like the government has continually screwed over so many groups of people, that maybe the government needs to learn to be a little more human.
