But if you tried to charge them $100 a year per student, they'd scream bloody murder. I'm just saying it's time we pulled our weight and get our priorities in order.

Pete,
I agree with you on that.
Seems to me that if those folks can afford all that, they should be able to afford the other.
Priorities do need to be put in order...and not on the backs of the gaming public.
Heck, we tax payers already pay for baby food and juice through the WIC program, right?
It's time to leave the horse bettors alone.
