Isi artikel
IN 1950-51 a US Senate commission headed by Estes Kefauver, a senator from Tennessee, investigated organised crime in America. It came out strongly against legalising gambling. “The availability of huge sums of cash and the incentive to control political action result in gamblers and racketeers too often taking part in government. In states where gambling is illegal, this alliance of gamblers, gangsters and government will yield to the spotlight of publicity…but where gambling receives a cloak of respectability through legalisation, there is no weapon which can be used to keep the gamblers and their money out of politics.” In other words, not only is gambling a vice; gamblers themselves are an inherently corrupting force.
