To me a casino is like a garbage can with a sign hanging on it that reads "Throw your money in here and maybe I will double it!"
People should be free to hang signs on their garbage cans, and if other people want to throw their money it, well good for them.
I definitely agree with that. I have always called the State Lottery a "tax on the poor," because the poor are the ones playing it most and who can afford it the least.
On gambling in general, let me just say this.....I have never played bingo, have never gambled in a casino or riverboat, and can count on one hand the number of times in my life I have played a lottery game. All that being said, I also have never bungee jumped, walked in front of an oncoming car, or done any day trading. I am not a big risk-taker like that, one could say. But all these things I have listed are gambling.
