Gambling is a bad deal for taxpayers

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

Your social costs, your costs to the taxpayers, are $3 for every $1 of benefits, it's not good economic development

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

Local competing businesses were thereby losing revenue.

If gambling were banned, those social costs would drop, tax revenues from consumer goods would increase, and money would be pumped into the productive economic sector

It's lose, lose for the taxpayer
