Should Kentucky be 'tricking people out of their money' to balance its budget?

Gov. Steve Beshear continues to claim gambling will solve Kentucky's budget woes.

I tried to put some perspective on this view in a recent Bluegrass Beacon column:

"Shouldn’t we feel bad about having to compete economically at the lowest level by tricking people out of their money and penalizing people who make bad bets?"

Trick is not the operative work, more like intentional evil deception, balancing means spending less monies when less monies are coming in.
