That is an old ploy: Create the problem, then pretend to have the solution. It always cracks me up to go to a grocery store. I see rows and rows of scratch lottery tickets, and posters loudly blaring, "BIG JACKPOT!" But right next to it is a sign saying, "Do you have a gambling addiction? Call this number for free help!" So some chump gambles away his paycheck. He can't pay his mortgage, his bills, or his groceries. He goes on welfare. His house is repossessed. He goes to some kind of Government "rehab" agency. This, in turn, requires lots of tax dollars. Thus, the Government gets your money, one way or another. First, they entice you to buy THEIR lottery tickets. Then, whether you buy them or not, they raise your taxes to clean up the mess THEY caused. Of course, most of the funding goes into the pockets of bureaucrats, not the actual performance of the agency. This is exactly how "drug legalization" will work.
