What's the story on ________?

I'm down on casinos. I think they hurt economies overall. They funnel money from gambling addicts and the middle class away to the 1%, and the government gets some taxes along the way. They don't produce anything. It's simply a money transfer. I'm pretty sure O'Malley was Governor of Maryland when they legalized casinos. That's all I know about him, but it leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe if he became president, he would try to solve the nation's problems with casinos.
