You realize that Arkansas residents are spending this money anyway (whether casino is in OK, MS, or here)? So why not keep that money in-state?
I understand this, as I said it in my second post in this thread.
I'm just not sure the money the 'games of skill' would bring to the state would outweigh the shitty environment that they would breed. Like I said in that earlier post, Vegas is fun, but I wouldn't want to live and raise a family there.

Luckily the state lines act as an invisible force field that blocks all the undesirable elements of those tables and slots that are 100 yds from Arkansas.

I'm not one to really get too far in the gambling debate because I can take it or leave it and have done a little of it myself but not that much, but I've never understood the argument that you should do "x" because that is what your neighbors are doing.
By the same logic if one of our neighbor states decriminalizes drugs or prostitution and therefore allows Arkansas residents to cross the borders to purchase these items and services does that mean Arkansas, from an economic standpoint, should follow suit? I just think there's a bit more to it than that.

agreed! THOSE DANG REPUBLICANS
It is simple really. You either believe that everything you get in financial resources are either yours, and yours alone. Regardless of how they are derived.(Occupation/Career, Social Security/Disability) and you should do as you wish with these funds, regardless of the outcome. Here is my problem with it in a nutshell. If you get funding from the government to pay for your bills, your food, your medical care and yet the casinos target those funds by offering a free meal, 20.00 in free play, and a free ride to Biloxi MS. Do you not see a problem here? Really?
For me, not a problem. If I wanted to spend a grand in a casino, I could and still have health care, food, home, cars, and a nice vacation to the beach, and of course tix to the hog games. but for the less fortunate, why should we allow our state, and other greedy bastards to prey on these people to litter their own pockets on a daily basis. Tax their earnings 50% and give it back to those ignorant folks I suppose.
Nahhh... Lets all EAT THE RICH!
