I think Horatio Alger stories are used by capitalist to expoit workers. for those of you who never heard of Horatio Alger, he wrote bunch of book with rags to riches stories. so if you work hard, you'll eventually achieve the american dream.
i think this is bunch of bullshit. if you're poor, you're most likely to be poor for life and your kids and your kids' kids. it is pretty hard for someone go up the social ladder without taking risk or break some kind of law. the reason is that rich white people runs the country and they make laws to make sure the wealthy stays wealthy and the poor stays poor...i think the politicans use the term, "social stability". if you work at mcdonalds. you work your ass off, maybe you'll get promoted to be the manager at 12 dollars an hour. if you're a trust fund baby, you can do coke all day, you still have millions in the bank.
i guess that is why gambling is so appealing to people because without gambling poeple will eventually come to the sad realization that they're stuck in their shitty social strata. therefore, i think recreational gambling is good for the spirits...it makes life more interesting..and it also give people hope.
