According to most legislators, the gambling bill, if passed, will help improve New State's economy York creating more jobs for its residents. Most lawmakers and other supporters of the bill argue that the bill will likely encourage the creation of more casinos, which will increase government revenue through taxes. However, the reality is that the bill will do more harm than good to New York State. The bill will only benefit the rich class and influential politicians. Furthermore, the bill is not an effective solution to the high unemployment rates, unaffordable tuition, and property tax issues it is intended to address. For this reason, the governor of New York should veto the bill. The gambling bill, if passed into law, will cause more problems than good; First, the law is intended to benefit wealthy politicians over ordinary citizens of New York State. Politicians in the region support the bill because it will provide them with short-term tax benefits, as it will make the rich richer at the expense of disadvantaged people who engage in gambling (Hawkins, 2013). Unfortunately, the profits obtained from gambling activities come from poor citizens who cannot afford it; as a result, some of them end up using the money they receive from the state (Rubin, 2013). Second, gambling has not brought any significant benefit to other states where similar legislation has been passed to reduce the tax burden on gamblers. in the sector. A good example of these places is New Jersey, where the gambling law was passed to increase tuition for seniors. Unfortunately, the local government in Atlantic still withholds much of the teachers' salaries to fund... half of the paper... funded by wealthy gambling industry players and other wealthy individuals in the state; consequently, if passed into law, it will be considered a bill intended to benefit the upper class.
