More Conservatives Speak Out On William "Dice" Bennett

Concerned Women of America:

Unfortunately, some casino owners have used these statistics to justify their business, claiming that the small percentage of the population with a gambling disorder indicates that the problem is not significant. Apparently, ruining the lives of just a small number of the population is not cause for concern. These owners also fail to acknowledge the increase in crime, decline in economy, and general lowering of morale in the communities they infiltrate.

...

Currently, at least twenty-four states have legalized gambling in one form or another. The state governments' reasons stem from increased revenue. However, we are losing a nation to a dangerous addiction. Are the tradeoffs worth it? No! Regardless of state revenue, the social cost is not worth it. Work towards abolishing gambling in your state if it's legal, and protect against allowing any gambling or chance games into your state. Protect your family and your community. Don't scratch off three or go for broke.

Verdict: Bill Bennett, destroyer of families and communities.
