We suck money out of the economy and don't really provide anything in return. We take and take and nobody really benefits from our existence. We are the sewers of the economy.

I'm not going to comment on this quote; it is just an example of how this post is seriously flawed. You need to explain why and how to make your argument convincing.
It isn't written anywhere that says that to make money in this country you need to be doing something productive for society. Plastic surgeons make a ton off of people's negative image of themselves.
And for the record I have seen Phil Ivey and a few other big names in commercials for programs that help people with gambling problems/addictions.
