The socio-economic impact of gambling addiction is comparable to drug and alcohol addiction

The social costs, and the increased tax costs due to addicted gamblers, stay behind

If the government wants to stimulate the economy, it should outlaw gambling

Therefore 5,000 new video gambling machines costs the economy 5,000 lost jobs each year

You bring in gambling into a major population base, and the more people you have going into a casino, the more people you have hooked on gambling

And as far as jobs go, for every one job that the casino creates, one is lost in the 35-mile feeder market

The casinos are walking out of states with at least $1 billion in their pockets to Las Vegas
