Time for Gambling
A resolution to legalize or outlaw gambling.
Category: Gambling
Legalize/Outlaw: Legalize
Proposed by: Windsor dc
Description: Gambling has long been one of the more controversial ways for states to make money, but there are some arguments that are good reasons for legalized gambling. One of the main reasons that people tend to argue against gambling is the moral and ethical issues of the sport, as well as the issues that surround the economic state of those who gamble. The truth is that the reasons to legalize gambling are sound, and gambling should be considered a good way for states to make more money.
Creating Jobs
In areas of high poverty, a casino can help to provide jobs for local residents. The larger the casino, the more jobs that can be created, especially when you consider the fact that tourists will be using other businesses in the area to meet their needs. The opponents of legalized gambling claim that the social costs outweigh the benefits that are more than the benefits, but the truth is that gambling, just like other social institutions, has both positives and negatives.
Support for State and Government
Even though some people are negatively affected by gambling, the integration of a casino or lottery into a local area can bring in jobs and tourists for the area. The main benefit is seen when non-locals bring their money into the area, which will put more money into a local economy. Along with the casinos making money, other areas of the town will profit, as well.
Some states use the state based lottery to fund big money projects such as building roadways and funding schools. Even if only a small percentage of the intake from a lottery goes to state programs such as these, you are looking at millions and millions of dollars that would have otherwise been added onto resident’s annual tax costs over the year.
While opponents argue that only a small percentage of the money used for state projects comes from gambling, the fact is that gambling gives states a way to add money to the annual budget that comes from people who voluntarily spend their money, rather than taxing necessities for all of the citizens of the state.
