Because England dumped all there Religious Cults on the Americas 300 years ago.That mentality of reverse intolerance to counter the intolerance they felt from the crown has been the underlying problem in the USA for years.

Ironically the form of Gambling that is accepted (Lottery) is the reason that gambling was banned in the first place....

the money people "gamble" on the stock market theoreticially goes to building the infrastructure of business all around the world.....
without the investments, especially in the early years of the stock market, companies would not have had the capital to and improve upon existing technology, and advance their products, production, distribution ect....
do you see the difference between 10,000 people putting 1,000 dollars into GM in 1925 and 10,000 people putting 1,000 dollars on the cards +220 this afternoon?
only a few people benefit from the million lost on the cards.....

I'm just saying its really apples and oranges to compare when you look at the big picture....
people look at one little aspect of it and say..... well with investing in stocks you have money at risk.... with gambling you have money at risk..... you could win or lose with both......"thus they are equal"
but if you think more indepth about how that money really matriculates and feedsback into a greedy capitalistic society, you see why one risk is a necessary gamble to fuel the economy.... and one risk is a an evil that the US government wasn't able to get the right chunk and that didn't really serve any deeper utility in society.
