[QUOTE=Moveon;552220]That must mean that you never gamble. :cool::D:o:rolleyes:
The problem with gambling is that the people who need the money the most for their families are the one's that gamble and lose money. Anyone with any intelligence knows that the odds are alway in favor of the house.
I don't think that throwing my money out the car window and letting the politicians and their friends get my money is fun. Those guys get way too much of our money as it is. They should be cutting our taxes since they are getting millions of extra money from the State Controlled Gambling lotteries and casinos.,[/QUOTE]In my case gambling is considered an entertainment expense. You ever wondered where all the tax money that is collected from the sale of fishing equipment, hunting supplies, licenses and other government imposed fees collected on our entertainment goes? It goes to the same politicians that get the taxes and fees from the casinos and even the horse racing tracks. Speaking of that, a good number of our representatives in Frankfort are puppets to the rich folks in the horse racing industry. That industry spends millions to keep their competition in the casino gambling industry out of Kentucky while at the same time donating millions to the political campaigns of the politicians that will further their cause so think twice before you go to the track and put $2 on the nose of a horse or even purchase that commemorative Ky derby glass. Just as people that live in dry counties will drive countless miles to buy alcohol in wet counties people that want to gamble legally will travel hundreds or even thousands of miles to legally gamble in other states. Btw, alcohol has caused far more damage than gambling ever has and probably brings in more money to the politicians and their friends so let's keep consistent in our desires to be rid of crooked politicians and bring back prohibition too. :rolleyes:

When you make something illegal that people will do anyways namely alcohol and gambling it becomes very profitable for the criminals. Weed and prostitution are other prime examples.
