Government-created gambling addicts are not equal citizens


We are told the public benefit of government’s gambling program is to “create jobs” but the results show it creates far more gambling addicts than jobs. According to the Illinois Gambling Board 2010 Annual Report, the number of people who have put themselves on a “self-exclusion” list to help them stay out of casinos because of gambling addiction – about 8,300 – is over 20% more than the number of people employed by the casinos – about 6,900.
