Gambling With the Future

From Nero News Service:

Massachusetts Roulette

First, the red shirts are union guys organized by Bobby Haynes to put pressure on the legislature for good jobs - yes, good union casino jobs. Bobby is going for what matters - not taxes on the corporations and wealthy, not jobs that bring real new money to MA, but casino jobs - jobs that take earnings and turn them into high stakes fantasies. Yes, labor is on a roll (of the dice) as it clearly sees its role (as the leaders of mice). This is surely the path to building a new movement. Just envision it, if you will - as workers, many unorganized swarm to the casinos to advance their holdings, the organized casino workers will hand them union cards to sign. A beautiful strategy for building the rankles (er, ranks) of labor. Brill, as we say.

Then, listen to the story and the interview with multi-billionaire casino developer Sheldon Adelson, a Dorchester native and maybe the third richest man in the US. He'll tell you what's wrong with the current effort to bring casinos to MA.
