Want Concrete PROOF That the US Government is 100% Bought and Paid For by Corporations and Special Interests? I'll Break it Down for ya

No matter where you stand morally on the issue of g*mbling, and internet wagering, this case magnifies how the Vegas mob types, corporations and special interest groups absolutely own our government and are not even attempting to hide it anymore.

Sheldon Adelson, who owns the Sands Casino/Resort among other things and is the eleventh wealthiest American, is obviously not opposed to gambl!ng. He is, however, vehemently opposed to online g@mbling because it has a negative impact on his bottom line. In other words, it would mean more people would g@mble from home instead of forking over big bucks to travel to Vegas, stay in over priced rooms, eat overpriced food, attend overpriced shows, all the while the house serves free liquor and everything is laid out to maximize the chance that you end up on the casino floor and inevitably separated from your cash.

What's most appalling is that he says he's doing it for MORAL REASONS!!! And I quote:

“My moral standard compels me to speak out on this issue because I am the largest company by far in the industry and I am willing to speak out. I don’t see any compelling reason for the government to allow people to gamble on the internet and nobody has ever explained except for the two companies whose special interest is going to be served if there is gaming on the internet, Caesars and MGM.”

He's only worried that someone else's special interests are being served, and admits it in plain English! This is what our country has become, and the type of people that are buying the new laws and regulations. Any new law or regulation that comes down the pipe has FUCK ALL to do with the best interests of the people, it is ALL about protecting or increasing some cocksucker's bottom line! Period.

G@mbl!ng itself is legal in many areas of the US, however those that profit from it have, if not a monopoly, a stranglehold on the industry. So why is it illegal to g@mb!e from the comfort of your own home, but not in your nearby indian casino or in Vegas?

"One of the nation’s top political donors, Adelson first openly declared his opposition to online g@mbling in a June article he wrote for Forbes, in which he claimed online g@mbling would cause people to lose their homes. He spent enormous amounts of money on the 2012 presidential election and is now preparing to use his financial firepower to push a legislative agenda connected to his business like never before."

Again, this isn't necessarily about just the issue of online g@mbling, it's about the clear illustration that special interests of all types (Monsanto, insurance companies, pharmaceutical companies, big banks, you name it) are literally buying new laws and regulations to suit their own benefit, not ours. And that is immoral, illegal, unconstitutional, treasonous, and a glimpse of everything that is broken in the system we are slaves to today. This shit needs to stop.

"He claims that there is no efficient technological way to stop minors or those suffering from alcohol or other substance abuse problems from g@mbl!ng online, but that land-based c@s!nos can prevent issues like money-laundering and stop people who should not be g@mbling from engaging in it."
