I like the idea of gambling being a "tax on the uneducated," but it's not nearly true.
Gamblers come from all economic strata, from the welfare mother playing the lottery to the cabinet member with a yen for high limit slots.

Some need the money, most don't: it's the thrill of the bet, the stimulation, that keeps them coming back.
