Letter: Biagio Trofa: R.I.'s easy gambling money won't keep flowing
 

A democratic socialist government in the USA would immediately shut down the gambling industry and immediately end the state lottery business and immediately freeze all assets of the big winners. The casino magnifies all the sins and false values of exploiting capitalism- including the fatuous idea that an individual " winner " has a swinish right to horde social wealth. The whole notion of MY money is really very problematic. Let the wealthy families defend their " way of life " before a committee of working class people. They will ask : just what do you DO to be entitled to more wealth than we can save in a life time ?

All those narcissistic radio and TV news celebrities who daily pimp the Rhode Island lottery should be ashamed of themselves. Any labor leader who supports the gambling industry is a very phony friend of the working class.

Of course a democratic socialist government will immediately freeze all the so called " legitimate " wealth of the capitalist ruling class. All those corporate lawyers and just judges will have to find a more honest vocation.

All those puffed up generals and admirals serving the military industrial complex-not less stupid than the French and German generals who planned the " Horror of Verdun " more than a century ago - will get early retirement with only social security benefits.

The Casino called the Wall Street Stock Exchange will be turned into a museum.

The nightmare of FOR PROFIT capitalism will end.
