This is the closest business model politicians have to their own party funding and management style. Casino management is a legal but borderline way of making billions and raising marginal funds from an overtaxed polpulation. The edge of ethical behaviour so loved by the shyster lawyer and dodgy brief, the shadowlands of service and patriotism are being mined by the nighthawks and dementors of the people for the remaining vestiges of their so called personal "responsibilities". Are you weak willed, depressed, mentally lacking in self control plainly ill, deluded or plainly stupid? Then the government is not to blame , of course it isn't and neither is it responsible! This is the edge of legitamet revenue raising more in common with American cowboy Westerns or single economy Monte Carlo expediency than a mature socially responsible western democracy. This decision once taken and never to be reversed marks a sea change in what we want, need, require as a nation and the money raised will be tainted with the blood of victims hat these vampires will surely drink with gusto.
