The expanse of government has led to moral degradation.

They are considering legalizing marijuana in New York to close the budget gap. Pennsylvania is gambling that gaming will pay the bills.

You can argue that these things should be legal, but it makes no sense that gambling or smoking should be legal only to raise money. Would murder be OK if you purchased a government license of $1 million dollars? How much do you need to pay the government to rape?

Making these “vises” legal for financial reasons totally undermines making them illegal in the first place. So either gambling and smoking pot is OK or it’s not…and if it is OK, then why should the government benefit from you partaking in these activities?
