Warren Buffett: "[Gambling] is a tax on stupidity.""Rich people love [legalized gambling] because they don't have to pay. To the extent that states raise money from people who the dollar really means something to them, it actually relieves the taxes on me or other rich people. It's not direct, but it's the net effect.""I don't like things that make a sucker out of people. I don't think the function of the government is to play its people for suckers."
