4. I could never see the attraction, either.
There are many people who love all that glitz and love gambling. Pennsylvania recently legalized casino gambling and is using the tax profits to pay for property tax relief and beginning health insurance for those not covered at work.

I have comt to think of gambling as a stupidity tax, and I am happy to let them pay some of my bills. These people used to go to Jersey and New York to gamble, so at least the money benefits us and not other states.
FWIW, Atlantic City casino profits are down again for the first hasl of this year.
