This is what's happening in our country, there is so much tax in the gambling sector but we don't know if they are actually budgeted into infrastructures and the other sectors that you've mentioned. While there is a good purpose for it. If we speak about the effects that it gives individually, the wealth distribution in gambling isn't really going to the poor but to the casinos because the house always wins. But if it's in general way of gambling impacts the entire economy, that's one way of them giving back but it's through taxation.
Some people think that gambling is a source of income rather than entertainment, and we know that gambling exists to profit from us in exchange for fun.
However, those with limited means often have a mindset focused on making money through gambling, hoping to win and hit the jackpot that could change their lives.
I was one of those that have thought that gambling could be a mean for profit to my life. But it didn't took long until the reality slapped me that it's only happening for the chosen few. I stopped hoping for jackpots and just having some fun and if I have that mindset, it's more fun and more positive that becomes.
I understand the purpose behind the tax is good.
When we look at those who gamble, the wealth generated from gambling mostly goes to the casinos because the house always wins, not to the poor. This mindset should be changed that gambling is just for fun, not chasing money.
You're right, but in our country, it's many of the population of the poor that keeps on hoping good life will come out of gambling.
