In my city the government runs the gambling, so I see nothing but government sponsored gambling, it's quite obscene.
Yeah that’s the thing. I Support gambling being legal, but it, alcohol, marijuana, tobacco, etc shouldn’t be allowed to advertise. These are harmful vices. It’s your choice to engage in them but advertising them isn’t cool
I think they should be legal to do, but I'm a little more iffy on if it should be legal to sell or profit off of the addictive ones.
Gambling doesn't really bring anything valuable to society and it causes notable harm, so I see no reason we shouldn't tax gambling revenue at a nearly 100% rate.
