IS TAKING AWAY ONE PERSON'S JOB so someone else can get a job, really the right thing to do?





IS TAKING AWAY ONE PERSON'S JOB so someone else can get a job, really the right thing to do?

Roughly $1 billion dollars of the total $2 billion which the casinos will rack up in gambling spending will come out of our current economy. That's not according to me, it's according to the Massachusetts Gaming Commission, who should know where the money is coming from.

Yes, the point that a lot of money is gambled in CT and RI is correct. But the bottom line question is this: are we willing to sacrifice the thousands of existing jobs which are supported by that $1 billion dollars in spending at thousands of local Massachusetts businesses, just so we can create thousands of other jobs at the casinos?

I know that most people want to do the right thing, but is taking away one person's job so someone else can get a job really the right thing to do?
