Gambling machines are so addictive that many gamblers feel frustrated when they win.

It is an absurd idea to prohibit gambling, but the modern practice in which the state promotes gambling is an attempt to compensate for the tax revenue that companies and the rich have learned ways not to pay any more.

Painkillers are also addictive, and many Americans choose the one for the same reason they choose the other: loss of hope for anything better.

That's because America does not create any good jobs. Plutocrats won't let Americans have good jobs; they want all the income for themselves.

In the next decade, soon automation (promoted by plutocrats) will get rid of many of the existing good jobs.

We Americans had better set up a progressive government before plutocrats kill us.
