Casino taxes are not like normal taxes though, they dont effect you unless you use the casino. it would be like CT using the cigerette tax to setup a fiber network, i dont smoke so id be all for it since well it would cost me nothing to build.

So you would vote to raise someone elses taxes. And then they will vote to raise taxes on something they don't pay this is a bad idea. Taxes are involved and when taxes are involved the idea is bad and will always cost more than they tell you.

I do not smoke and think it is a bad habit to have, but I will support raising taxes on those who do. I do not gamble and feel that is bad, but again taxing them for your personal gain is and always will be a bad idea.
