Anti gambling, anti casinos

[Bob21]

Well, if I'm a parasite....I'm a small parasite on a big parasite. Casinos strip mine the economy. I strip mine the casinos. You don't like it I don't give a fuck. You are obviously a casino employee. That makes you one of the little parasites that work for the big parasite. We had a long time poster, Mr. V, that finally quit posting. He always described himself as a recreational gambler. But he finally admitted he had a problem. He wants to quit going to casinos. He quit the forum in order to not be influenced by all the gambling talk. That's the entertainment you PARASITES provide. You make a living off of other people's misery. I love taking money from you PARASITES.

Mickey, if you’re going to call casinos parasites then you should call the IRS parasites. Both entities primary purpose is to generate revenue for governments. The IRS is the mandatory tax program, while casinos and lotteries are the government’s voluntary tax program. In case you didn’t notice, Governments need tax revenue to operate.

This is why APs are parasites on the economy. They are attacking the government’s voluntary tax program which is taking revenue away from state and local governments.

Our economy would be better off if all APs would get a real job and go to casinos and play in a negative EV way, like most people. This would contribute more to our state and local governments. APs don’t need to do this because it’s legal to be an AP but no AP should ever think they're doing anything that’s benefiting anybody, including the government.

Wait a minute Bob. This sounds you are saying the government can manage our money more effeciently than we can ourselves. I thought you didnt like liberalism. The idea that the government should have our money because they will us it better than we will is about as liberal as you can get. Most conservatives and even a large number of otherwise liberals agree that they would prefer to allocate their own money and not have the government do it and that the government is already too big and intrudes into citizens lives too much.

AP - Win money. Buys food, clothes, cars, rent, ect. Provides jobs and stimulates the economy

Goverment - Gets Money. - Huge Pensions, Spy on US citizens while ignoring warnings from flight schools that arab men want to learn to fly but dont need to know how to take off or land, commission $10Mill study of dust mites, fund a recreation of the play Hamlet with a cast of dogs (They really did this google it) Sieze peoples cash through civil asset forfiture with no evidence of a crime, etc, etc, etc

Thanks but I think the less money the government has the better

I agree DGenBen. I think our government takes way too much of our money. I don’t even agree with Social Security. I think we should manage our own money for retirement; it should not be the function of the government.

I’m a conservative and I think money is better in the hands of an individual than the government. The government obviously needs some money to operate.

I was only pointing out what the function of the casino is. It is primarily a voluntary tax program for the government. By removing money from this program (casinos), you’re doing nothing to help the economy or society or the government.

An AP is no different then a welfare recipient. The welfare person gets a check directly from the government for doing nothing, while an AP siphons off money from our government’s voluntary tax centers (casinos) for doing nothing of value for society.

Both the welfare recipient and an AP are NOT doing anything illegal, but they also aren’t doing anything of value, meaning nothing to benefit the economy or society. Yes, they both spend money but it’s really the government’s money or someone else’s money. They haven’t earned the money by doing anything of value for the economy or society.

I can tell you’re struggling to understand that point.
