[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m opposed to the casino too, but it’s probably worth mentioning that the only Lt. Gov. candidate who was explicitly opposed to the casino - Babur Lateef, from the PWC SB - got a single digit percentage of the votes. So apparently a lot of people are either in favor or don’t think of it as a major issue at all. [/quote]
I'm against a casino, but it doesn't rise to one of my top issues, especially not when thinking about Congress.[/quote]

The casino issue is emblematic of a larger issue and policy problem - tax, tax, tax, and tax some more, no matter what it takes.  Some focus on tax cutting, and concordant spending reductions, would be indicative of some degree of fiscal restraint, instead of viewing productive taxpayers, especially the most productive who pay the most taxes, as an endless source of funds for seemingly endlessly increasing governmental expenditures.  Building casinos to generate more tax revenue simply perpetuates that cycle; the casino in Tyson's reflects a larger mindset.  [/quote]
