Its our money and if we want to give it to a game of chance rather than "GOVERNMENT CREATED TAX" what is the problem? RAISE TAXES? I can't even get a dime back on that...at least a game a chance gives me just that , a chance. If the government taxed the video games they would still get generated income. Its our money. I dont drink, smoke, or do drugs. I like to spend my entertainment money on whatever I want. I pay for a movie that only leaves a memory. Some pay for "a few drinks" that leaves some dead due to drunk driving. I am trying to think of a good reason why the government is saying that we can NOT gamble?
