“You people are takers. You don’t give anything to a community. All you do is take.”

There continue to be a growing number of Americans who are speaking out about government’s failed policy of predatory gambling. The highly-successful, Miami-based auto dealer Norman Braman is the latest. At a press conference surrounded by other business leaders, Braman hit the failed policy hard:
“Casino gambling is not compatible with a quality of life of a community – whether it’s a community like Miami or the state of Florida and the evidence can be seen through the United States. Let these people take their wares and take it somewhere else. We don’t need a malignant situation in our state.”
Braman compared the quality of life in communities that have allowed casinos and said they are not the model Miami and Florida should follow.
He held the Saturday edition of the Miami Herald and pointed to the headline on the decline in federal unemployment numbers which reads: “Jobs crisis turns corner.”
“We don’t need this,” Braman said. “It’s fools gold. Quick fixes never work.”
Fools gold, indeed, Mr. Braman. Thanks for putting yourself out there to speak the truth about one of government’s biggest policy failures in the last forty years.
