Someone posted this on my cousin's Facebook status about the lottery.
The Government started the lottery to help with our taxes so the more people buy,the more we save.
We still have that $16 trillion dollar deficit and the fiscal cliff is getting closer.... right? Or did all those ticket sales some how save us all.

Lotteries are the way state governments tax the lower classes: they are sold as ways to keep taxes low, but in fact do little but feed another bureaucracy in administration and feed a "get-rich-quick" mentality among the lower classes, so that they stay in the lower classes, and thereby employ thousands of social-worker bureaucrats to cater to them.
Here in Ohio the lottery was sold many years ago as a way to fund the schools...so have taxes on property to fund the schools declined significantly?

They did the same thing in CA. The voters voted in the lottery with the idea that the money would go towards the schools. The money did go to the schools. The problem is the state takes that amount out of their budget that would have gone to the schools and used it for other things. Just more smoke and mirror games.

A most accurate analysis, Ausonius sir. h5
The disgusting hypocritical fact is, the political class uses gambling as a means to fund their exorbitant appetite for money rather than to fund ed-you-kay-shun, which is supposed to be a more "noble" use of tax gambling money.
Classic bait-and-switch.

Or, in other words, the "lottery is a tax on those who are bad at math."

The Government doesn't run a lottery, individual States do, and when they sold it to the public, at least in NJ, they said the lottery would fund schools and keep property taxes down, they lied.

I always thought that playing the lottery was throwing good money after bad.
I never do it. Period.

Exactly the same in MA.

Thank you: another gambling story.
Here in Columbus, Ohio a casino opened 6 weeks ago on land which formerly held a GM auto plant. (The tragic irony is not to missed)
The casino was touted as generating taxes for Ohio and jobs, jobs, jobs!
Sprouting across the street only a week or two after the casino's opening - easily predicted - are two new "gentlemen's clubs" O-) which started generating crime almost immediately: prostitution, drunken brawls, etc.
Detroit was told that a downtown casino would cure many of its ills:

Used to pray each night, "Lord, please let me win the lottery". After about 2 years of this, I was getting discouraged when there came a bright light in the sky, and a booming voice said to me, "Son, please Help me out in your quest, and maybe, like' BUY A TICKET!!!
