Yes!!! We should legalize pot, sports betting and prostitution. Organize crime would entirely lose their funding, tax revenue would increase and let's face it.... Government is not supposed to be dictating morality to us. When did we start thinking that politicians are so moral that they should be dictating morality to us?

Also if prostitution were legalized then the prostitutes could regularly be checked for venereal diseases.

At one point gambling, prostitution and pot were legal in the US.

Christ almighty! you people are living in the dark ages.

taxation of legalized gambling winning is the same thing as providing income to organized crime, just more expensively.

What makes you think legalizing it would take it away from organized crime?

Of course it should, but not just to take income away from organized crime. Creating jobs and creating revenue are really good reasons as well.

Legitimate and legal competition is intuitively going to render sports gambling less profitable for "organized crime" so I think it's safe to say the effect would be to lessen criminal involvement, if only because that particular activity would be no longer categorized as criminal.

Gambling is a hardship on working class people.

Legalized, regulated, taxed.
