        @WSJ @davidmwessel The government regulates and monitors the casino to keep it "fair". Who regulates the gov?

        @WSJ @davidmwessel No player in his right mind would play in a poker game where the dealer rakes 35% out of every pot. #badanalogy

        @WSJ @davidmwessel A casino never uses its profits to bail out poker players who are "too big to fail." #badanalogy

        @WSJ @davidmwessel If a casino takes too much of a rake, the patrons can always go somewhere else. No so with government and taxes.

        @WSJ @davidmwessel This analogy and your analysis applying it is fatally flawed in ways that takes more than 140 characters to explain.
