Two Wrongs Don't Make A Right

Joe Towns Jr. has came up with a outdated liberal idea. I haven't heard anything from him in quite some time. Except his record of excessive spending. Read about it : http://indepcons.blogspot.com/2007/07/did-tennesseans-foot-bill.html His latest suggestion, must be to get his name mentioned. It's like putting a band-aid on a bullet wound. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out a lot of Memphis money is going to Tunica. Somewhere they've came up with a figure of $350 million. They didn't bother to explain what money goes where. The vast majority of that money went to the owners and workers at the casinos. Not directly to the state, as supporters of this idea would have you think. Joe Towns Jr. knows anybody that agrees with him, won't have the insight to consider that.


Bringing casinos to Memphis wouldn't be free. Not to mention the crime that it would bring. In a city where crime is already off the chain. It would be naive to think it wouldn't get worse. Unless of course , Memphis is already being credited with those crimes. I wrote a blog about that as well : http://indepcons.blogspot.com/2007/10/memphis-metropolitan-area.html Gambling isn't a way to economic parity. It's going to hurt more than it's going to help. It'll turn out like the lottery and the "Hope scholarships." History tells me "two wrongs, don't make a right."
