Should Gambling Be Legal?

I think that gambling should be legal. Gambling has been around for thousands of years. As long as there have been games, races, or competitions, people have gambled on the results. Briefly, people like to bet. In fact, I believe that gambling is part of human nature.

Since people will gamble whether it is legal or not, then it is best to legalize it and let the government regulate it. If gambling is illegal, then it will just go underground. On the other hand, legalized gambling, the government can make laws to control it.

Finally, if gambling is legal, then the government can tax this activity. This will provide the government with a great way to increase tax revenues. And the money that is collected from taxes on gambling can be used to build new schoods, roads, and libraries, which will benefit everyone.
