Auntie Charo's Soapbox

I have questioned for months why rev and tax allowed the electronic poker and bingo machines in various places on island to continue to pay out thousands of dollars...I mean thou$and$ of bucks!
Several people who've played the machines at the Royal Orchid have won between seven to seventeen thousand using those darling bingo machines. Guess what....only the friends got bits and peices of the win....and not a penny to rev/tax. It's gone on so long that there are actual buildings on Route 8 that stay open 24 hours so that gambling addicts can get their fill of winning and losing.
Finally, rev/tax has noted what it has lost in revenue and are putting a stop to the gambling machines.
Okay.....since the economy is soooooo bad and soooo many addicts are out there at these machines, why not just hike the cost of the licenses by the thousands of dollars and......TAX all wins by the submission of SS numbers.....or.....have the 'house' keep ten percent of the win and submit it(with proper paper work) to rev/tax. I probably didn't win any points with the bishop but hey, if the government needs money for schools, hospitals and safety people, we may as well tax the sinners....and that goes to cigarrettes and booze...be it beer or whiskey or wine coolers....but that's just me, trying to find a way to make a few extra bucks.....
Now.....I'm wondering what rev/tax is going to do about all the massage parlors......a lot's going on in thar there rooms that could be taxed....hmmmm, grt on sex? How much could we make on those happy endings at those parlors? So much for taxes and simple pleasures!
