The government does the exact opposite. They promote gambling with Lotteries in nearly every state and Nationally. What people should be irritated with is the government use of the revenues gained by gambling. We were told our taxes would decrease with the influx of revenue, our schools would get better, the infrastructure would approve. There are insane taxes on things that are considered negative to society, tobacco, liquor, etc. As Roger Waters would say, “Mother should I trust the government “.
