Regarding the article “Report: Pennsylvania casino revenues top $415M in September” (Oct. 19, TribLIVE): The rich get richer, and the poor get poorer, chasing a dream. Our government is evil.
Legalized gambling was supposed to drastically reduce property taxes in Pennsylvania. What happened? Gambling is a terrible, addictive disease. The property owner gets under a $300 a year homestead exclusion off their school property taxes at their primary residence, and addictive gamblers are losing their homes. Sickening!
