So, the CS Monitor has decided to repeat an oft expressed view that any kind of state-sanctioned gambling is a "tax" on the poor. You know, the poor lack the ability to stop themselves from gambling if given the opportunity. The big, mean government should, of course, step in to protect them from themselves. Nevermind that this is merely an interpretation of an existing law or that no one is being forced to buy lotto tickets or dump quarters into slot machines. Don't you wish that you had the choice to not pay your taxes?
