Abstract
In Royally Flushed: Reforming gambling to work for, not against, Alberta, think tank Cardus shows how the lowest-income households in Alberta pay the provincial government an estimated 7% of their annual incomes through gambling – triple the proportion that the wealthiest Albertans hand over to the government though games of chance. Alberta’s income tax system, by contrast, taxes the wealthiest families at nearly five times the rate of the province’s poorest.
