State Owned Casinos?

So it is no secret that the state of New Jersey has been having a hard time of it. They have seen their slot machine revenues go literally down the drain as first they are hit with multiple states bringing in slot machines and competition, and then they are hit with the worst economy since the Great Depression. This is leaving many people wondering what is going on – and how the state is going to start to recoup some of its losses. They turned to Governor Chris Christie who suggested that the state might need to take over the slot machines and casinos in Atlantic City.

There are many not happy with this idea as they feel that slot machines are there to be run by the casinos and that the state is not in the position to run them. They think that it is much like church and state – the state gets money but doesn’t go sticking their nose into anything about it. There are many residents that think that if the casinos are not getting enough slot machine revenue then they should not be in business and that the state should let them go under. They say that even the idea of bringing in online gambling to the state to support the slot machine industry is the same as allowing porn into your homes.

The only problem that the other side sees with these people is that they might not want the slot machines, but they have no problem paying fewer taxes because of them. They say that if they really have a problem with the slot machines that they should go ahead and start paying higher taxes because that is all that will happen if the slot machines go away.
