You talk as if these casinos are CREATING money somehow! They aren't; all the money they make is taken from some other poor sucker who worked to earn it. They don't create money, they just redistribute it, taking it from the customers and putting it into the tribes. They have indeed made a millionaire out of every member of the Shakopee tribe, but that money has come out of the pockets of the customers of their casino.
And "wonder what shape the state would be in". What does the state of Mn get out of these casinos? They don't share in this income. That's one of the things in this bill that has the gaming tribes so upset.

Minnesota tribes are not the blame for the bad economy, in fact; they have made it
better. I kinda wonder what shape the state would be in if there were not any
Casinos. I think we might have been billions of dollars in the red, crime
rates would be at a high level, More poverty etc.
