I am born in Canada, just the same as any other person born in Canada at the same time. I went to school, paid for my higher education, went to work, earned a wage to pay for my possessions and an 75 year old house on land I am supposed to own. If I conduct any business to make money on "my" land, the government will force me to pay taxes on that money.
That is unless this law applies to you:
...That exemption applies to the income of an Indian that is earned on a reserve or that is considered to be earned on a reserve, as well as to goods bought on, or delivered to, a reserve....Employment income is exempt from income tax under paragraph 81(1)(a) of the Income Tax Act and section 87 of the Indian Act only if the income is situated on a reserve. If your employment income is exempt from tax, you do not have to include that income when you file your personal income tax return.

As a Canadian born citizen who supposedly has equal rights, it is hard not to be envious of those who have been born in Canada at the same time. This idea hits harder when I see people protest for lengthy periods of time (for more rights) while I am at work earning a wage to feed my family while being forced to pay taxes for the benefit of others. As an equal citizen, should I or others not have the same privileges.
I get up every morning, motivated by the desire to feed, clothe, and house myself and my family. My life is driven with purpose and that purpose is what gives me and many others a life of meaning.
As Ayn Rand says: Depraved is the man without purpose.
