This is really complicated since somehow government is benefiting thru taxes they can get also possible kick backs from those casino owners.
What do you mean government are benefiting
somehow? They get gambling and income taxes from business if casinos are operating white. Why would government interfere if the processing is working perfectly? Casinos earn, casinos pay taxes. I dont think government should interfere in their citizens private life and limit what they can do with their money, if they are used on legal activities and goods.
Why everyone want government to solve their problems? For example I love to eat, I can not not eat for a day. Which department of government should I address with my hunger problem? Also I dont like to pay VAT on food.
When you dont have something to eat then you can always go into those government agencies that it is connected with social welfare on which giving out some aids into those people who do need help on which this isnt just that limited to food but also into those common needs on which human being wants in order to live. Its part of government programs on having these kind of agencies that supports on particular things but it doesnt mean that you can rely with it anytime whenever you are in need. You cant get some help but not that often. For taxation then we do know that food are already that taxed? Once you do able to recieve a receipt then it will be automatically considered that they are being taxed already. For the thing about gambling problem then its a personal problem and of course the government will be focusing out into something that will generate out taxes because we do know on whats the real purpose or usage of taxes in the first place on which it will be benefiting out the citizens but of course it will be depending whether the government is corrupt or really have that proper application of those taxes.
