GOVERNMENT LEGALIZED GAMBLING TO MAKE $BILLIONS$
By Gordon Bishop (12/05/05)

Government once spent millions of dollars a year to crack down on illegal gambling.

It didn’t work.

So what did our tax-and-spend government do?

Legalize gambling so they can rake in billions of dollars in revenue to expand socialist government programs. (Why didn’t the atheist-socialist Karl Marx think about that in the 19th Century?)

Government lotteries are the biggest scam in American history. Government takes half of what the multi-million-dollar winners take when they hit the jackpot.

Sadly, most lottery revenue comes from the poor. The end result is those that can least afford to pay wind up paying most via the lottery, according to James W. Hughes, dean of Rutgers University School of Planning and Public Policy.

Every time I see on TV or read about the latest $50 million, $100 million, or $300 million dollar lottery winner, I say to myself, “They have to split half of it with their silent partner (Big Government.).

Casino gambling is big business for our Government. Atlantic City and Las Vegas are endless money machines for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The more you win, the more Government wins!

Ahhh….to be as powerful and greedy as our destructive Big Government. Big Brother’s hand is in everyone’s pocket. The bigger the stakes, the more they take.

Is this the kind of Government America really wants?

Or do we want a Government that represents all the people, and thinks always first about serving the people – not the massive government they created that is sucking taxpayers dry and many into bankruptcy.

America’s founders would not recognize the United States they created to represent the taxpayers. Government today has chained taxpayers into giving “entitlements” to every special interest group. Isn’t that what King George did that sparked the American Revolution in 1776?

Taxpayers today are in much worse condition than taxpayers who won the Revolutionary War. There were no sales tax, state or federal income taxes, or taxes and fees on just about everything we do in this so-called “free society.”

We lost our freedom when the federal government imposed a fraudulent income tax on American taxpayers in 1913.

What happened to the spirit of the American revolutionaries? Fighting for their rights by declaring war on King George and his oppressive British monarchy.

Didn’t we learn anything from our bloody revolution that freed Americans from King George’s tax terrorism on the colonial settlers in the 18th Century?

We’re paying hundreds of times more in taxes than we did when King George ruled the original 13 colonials 230 years ago.

America’s taxpayers and voters whine and wail over what their government is doing to them, economically, culturally, academically and religiously.

Why aren’t they leading the second tax revolution by shutting down federal and state governments that are taxing them into bankruptcy?

Why? Because half our country is under the influence of liberals-socialists-Marxists obsessed with destroying America’s Constitution and the morals and values that are the foundation of this Constitutional Republic.

With half our nation attacking America and the other half defending it, we are experiencing our own bloodless Civil War.

Who will win?

Depends on who still believes in the Constitution, God and traditional family values and morals.

With a 50 percent divorce rate and an illegitimacy birth rate of 75 percent in Urban America, can the half who still believe in the Judeo-Christian ethic be able to convert the other half to their way of thinking and living that once made America the greatest nation the world has ever seen?

Stay tuned, folks!

The government does two things better than anything else: tax and regulate. Legalizing gambling would allow them to be in all their glory doing both. The amount of tax dollars Uncle Sam could get from legalized gambling is mind boggling. Make no mistake, there are Congressmen on Capitol Hill pondering the economic impact (taxes, jobs) that legalized gambling could have on the US. The only thing more overdue than legalized gambling is opening trade with Cuba. I long for the days when I can bet sports legally in the US while puffing on a Cuban Cohiba!

Not sure I want the government to regulate it. It would all depend on the details. Plus when they say regulate online gambling they aint talking about sports gambling. They talking about online poker and maybe online casino.
