Quote of the Day

“… casino ‘taxes’ are really more accurately described as profit-sharing arrangements, making states in effect business partners in gambling operations, a recipe for crony capitalism, favoritism for politically connected businesses, and, now, to no one’s great surprise, bailout considerations … when the state is a partner, every business is too big to fail.” — Kevin Williamson, of the National Review, on Delaware Gov. Jack Markell‘s $8 million rescue plan for the state’s racinos.
