Gambling, what a joke. When it was considered in Joisey, it was supposed to reduce taxes,

help defray the cost of education, help the elderly, and rebuild the infrastructure of Atlantic City.

Since it's inception, Joisey has an income tax, a 7% sales tax, a defecit in the teacher's pension fund

and Atlantic City looking like Hiroshima after the A bomb.

Was down for a boat show sitting at a counter having a cup of coffee next to a Philadelphia cop with tears in his eyes.

Guy was hooked, drove down every nite after his shift, in horrible debt loosing his family and everything he had.

A decent guy with prolly 100,000 others like him suffereing in some way or another.The people who can least afford it go,

including the enticement of the senior citizens with a free bus ride and a stipened to gamble.

Now they have tv adds for gamblers anonymous. The only winners are the casino owners and the people behind them.

If it sounds too good to be true it is.

But the herd will follow anyway, thinking that this time it will be different. Dopes.
