Oppression at the hands of the US government has taken its toll on the Lakota, whose men have one of the shortest life expectancies -- less than 44 years -- in the world.

Lakota teen suicides are 150 percent above the norm for the United States; infant mortality is five times higher than the US average; and unemployment is rife, according to the Lakota freedom movement's website.


The first statistic there is really quite surprising and shocking.

How would no taxation improve this?

Presumably so this "new" country would become a tax haven and so lots of people would start doing business there. Not to mention lots of casinos springing up and what not...
