it appears we may have actually succeeded in taking this thread out of the gutter and had a normal discussion.

I am satisfied and if it pleases Alan maybe we can finish this thread. Have a nice evening.

DGenBen, now that was a really good AP move on your part. Trying to convince Bob that you are satisfied and we are all now suddenly having a normal discussion, for the sole purpose of trying to end this never ending thread that Bob would would rather not do. Very good I like that move and I will play along.


Bob, it is so good that everyone now understands each other, we have come so far. You cannot help it that you want to troll all the time and try to ruin good forums. Anymore than AP's try to win every possible dollar out of voluntary government tax programs. LOL, of course I am messing with you Bob. We could have a 1000 more post on the same subject and we still would not have reached square one.
I agree with you on this one Bosox. This thread has definitely made me more knowledgeable about casinos, including Indian casinos. I didn’t learn much from anybody on this forum since most, including Alan, had their facts wrong.

Where did I gain most of my knowledge? By spending time on the internet researching it. I had no idea local and state govenrments are many times in partnerships with Indian casinos sharing revenue. This was a new finding for me. That’s why casinos have a unique situation. Our government doesn’t do this with other businesses.

I spent most of my time researching the situation in Arizona since Ron Singer made a big deal about those Indian casinos not paying any federal or state taxes. Intuitively, I knew the state and local governments must be getting some money from the Indian casinos, otherwise they wouldn’t have let them in their state. Like my dad used to say, I didn’t fall off a turnip truck yesterday. It appears most APs did. That’s a joke.

Here’s an interesting piece of trivia for all of you: How much do you think Indian casinos contribute to Arizona’s state and local governments? The answer is $100 million/yr or $1 billion over the past 10 years. There’s a reason governments like casinos.

By the way, I’ve also come to learn what an AP’s definition of a troll is. It’s someone they don’t agree with. See I’m learning the AP culture, and I haven’t even got my hands on the AP code of conduct manual. Lol .
