Our country has been gambling, and lost, since Reagan was elected.

The easiest way to fix it is get rid of all the Republican politicians that like to give the biggest tax breaks to all the rich in the state........start with Pawlenty & go from there.

I don't think it is a tax on poor people. It is a tax on people that don't realize that their chances of winning are infinitesimal. The state of Minn. already has pull tabs. Why not expand it? And another thing, why not give the Native casino's some competition? After we have done that, then lose the state income tax. On a different note, put a tax on new clothing.

Gambling is nothing more than a tax on poor people. They will spend money that should be spent on their families hoping to be a big winner.
