The 109th Congress should:
- not do anything to promote gambling, such as a lottery
- not spend tax dollars studying the already-documented effects
of gambling
- not do anything to attempt to eliminate gambling by coercion
or threats of violence
Gambling is a blight on our society. It deliberately targets the
poorest and most ignorant elements of our society, and subjects them
to more intense poverty over a longer period of time. It destroys
families.
Government force will not transform ignorant and covetous people
into people who are contented, responsible and successful. That's a
job for churches, non-profit organizations, 12-step groups, and voluntary
associations.
