Watching the irrational hysteria of states' legislators (including those in Massachusetts) deluding themselves into believing that Slot Barns are the fiscal solution to all ills of their own creation, promoting some worthy cause, generally education as the recipient of revenues, Georgia appears prepared to follow that path.
Recent studies indicate that patrons of Slot Barns are progressively more local, not tourists, in essence, sucking discretionary income out of the local economy and cannibalizing jobs.
Vacationing families carefully avoid the sleaze gambling offers, an expensive discovery Las Vegas made.
Surrounded by the Gambling Madness, this was included in a recent article:
The Christian Coalition has already come out in opposition to more types of gaming. Its president, Jerry Luquire, issued a statement Thursday blasting Stephens' idea.
"I am so tired of being in a checkout seeing gamblers use cash to buy alcohol, cigarettes and gambling devices (they do go together) and using my tax money in food-stamp cards to buy snacks and groceries," he said.
Luguire has an alternative proposal that no one be permitted to collect a lottery prize for two years after receiving any form of government assistance.
Gambling deliberately targets those who can least afford it.
