When governments legalize and encourage gambling, they are creating addictions among their citizens

The common mistake that business people make is they're going to get drive-by business...Only gas stations are helped

The faster the gambling activity, the more highly addictive it is; and the more addictive the gambling activity is, the more revenue it will generate for the industry

Besides creating more compulsive gamblers, money spent on lotteries isn't spent on other goods such as clothing or computers, which would trickle through to retailers, manufacturers and other parts of the economy

Gambling is a catalyst for economic downturn

It's time to wipe the slate clean, recriminalize gambling, just like we did in this country 100 years ago

Then they're like addicts; they can't help themselves... They will steal, cheat, embezzle and commit other crimes just to get money to gamble
