They want to make every one of us penniless, and control ALL the money. If they can’t get it from us from taxes, fines, and over-priced consumer goods, they’ll train us to just throw it away by gambling.

And they’ll just scoop it all up. Nothing left for children to inherit, nothing saved for retirement, nothing saved to start a business, but a second home, send kids to college, etc.

But it’s worse than that. You got out of college with massive student loans that will take a lifetime to pay off. Now you have a massive gambling debt that just keeps growing, because your addicted as sure as if it were heroin. Now you’re gambling, not to “make it interesting,” but because you’re trying to win the money to get yourself out of your hole. You don’t worry about losing any more, because your already so deep it doesn’t matter. What matters is that you could win at any time, and start digging your way out.

Or maybe you avoided the student loan trap somehow, but now they convince you that gambling in fun, get you into debt, and trap you that way.
