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

I would hate to see the state of Wisconsin make another mistake and locate another casino in a high-density population area

It's lose, lose for the taxpayer

While advocates of legalized gambling say it brings in revenues needed for education and other uses, it actually has led to higher taxes, loss of jobs, economic disruption of non-gambling businesses, increased crime and higher social-welfare costs

A study in Illinois in the mid-1990s found that 65 percent of businesses were hurt by the proximity of gambling

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

Actually, they should just roll it all back get rid of gambling...It destabilizes the U.S. economy
