Don't Let 'em Fool You...

In gambling the many
   must lose...
in order that the few
   may win.
George Bernard Shaw

Consider this: The owner of Detroit's MotorCity Casino and her husband (Mike & Marian Ilitch) are now worth $2 billion according to Forbes -- up from $1.7 billion in 2010. They've taken millions from MotorCity Casino to pay-off Las Vegas casino moguls and Wall Street fat cats. But in October, workers at MotorCity Casino were told to start paying some of their own healthcare costs or face job loses.
