Deval's gambling decision
Sep 15, 2007 13:16
If Deval
Patrick makes it a YES on gambling, he should
announce it in a public school classroom, to the
lucky beneficiaries of the government's gambling
business.
"Hi, kids, I've done my homework, and I've decided to bring in more gambling -- yes, on top of the lottery! -- so we can pay for your books and teachers, "slots for tots," as they say, because it's way easier than cutting out the billions of dollars in tax breaks and loopholes for big fat corporations. Hey, anyone here have a parent who likes to gamble? Anyone lost your house or your college tuition yet? No? Well, my little friends, don't worry, that'll all become much easier now; why make folks go all the way to Connecticut, right?
And you should consider starting to gamble soon too, because it's good for the state, and good for your school! But not till you've done your homework!
Keep up the good work, young winners and losers of tomorrow, we're here for you! Together We Can!"
