The printing of money through Quantitative Easing, the invasion of
Libya, drilling moratoriums, crop subsidies and price supports, and
other ingenious government decisions has raised the price of food and
fuel - a cruel blow to the poor, the working poor, and the lower middle
classes.
The state and federal tax increases on liquor and tobacco products hit the lower incomes hard.
The inability to get the economy up to a point where jobs are created
affect the less skilled who are the first to get laid off and the last
to be rehired.
Multi-state lotteries give the illusion of hope to those who can least afford to buy tickets.
Record numbers of unemployed, record numbers on food stamps, homelessness increasing at a staggering rate…
So the greedy Illinois legislature must have decided that the poor
still have a few bucks to lose and are expanding casinos across the
state.
