I listened to some local, Columbus, Ohio, radio, and they were discussing the possibility of Gambling In Ohio .... i.e. all the money we are losing to other states who have gambling.
All the good it does, jobs, the economy, millions of dollars of revenue, that we are missing out on, by not allowing slot machines at race tracks, or better yet, casino gambling.
What a good thing it is .....
I wanted to call in, but didn't.
WHERE does the money come from, all these millions that we are losing, the thousands of jobs .... does no one realize that it all comes, from people, who wager and lose money, that they probably can't afford.
People bitch about taxes, but lose their money in a slot machines, and think nothing of it. Everyone is a winner in a casino ..... WRONG ..... it's the millions that are lost that keep them going.
Race tracks want slot machines because their revenue is down .... oh ..... people can't afford to lose money on a horse, but they can put their money in a slot machine. OH, that makes sense.
Millions will be generated into the economy, thousands of new jobs, more tax revenue, all because people lose their money ..... probably ..... that they can ill afford to lose ...
I know where the money comes from to support casinos, and generate these millions they talk about ...... people .... and don't tell me it's just entertainment, and they are going to lose it somewhere else .... so why not in Ohio.
I know where the money cones from ..... there is no "money spring" that generates the money that goes in to a casino or a slot machine .... as we always said, "A gambling license is nothing more than a license to steal."
