[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What would be so bad about having a casino in Tysons?  [/quote]

Casinos are awful, attract crime, are predatory. [b]There is nothing redeeming about them whatsoever.[/b] Look at what the MGM in National Harbor has become. If there isn't crime inside there, it's in the parking lot or you're being followed from the parking lot and assaulted when you get home. Look at the casino in downtown Baltimore near the Ravens Stadium off of 295. It is just disgusting.[/quote]

I dunno, casinos are used to get other people to pay for things that otherwise would have to be funded through increased property or income taxes.  I consider that redeeming.  Also, they're a tax on stupid, which I'm generally in favor of.  [/quote]

Faustian deals come at a cost. Just like all that tax money states collect from making recreational pot legal. How is that turning out? [/quote]

It's all going into education and educational outcomes are off the charts! [/quote]
