I don't think you can stop it once you open it up, and once the states found out that

they could pay about 60 cents on the dollar or something like that, whatever, they may

have different systems for different states.

There was one state it was legal in when I was a kid, and we've been around for hundreds

of years, but then once people saw how that was working, other places took it up.

And of course, rich people love it because they don't have to pay, to the extent that

the states raise money from people who the dollar really means something to them, actually

relieves the taxes on me or other rich people. It's not direct, but it's the net effect.

So, I don't like things that make a sucker out of people. I don't like them, I particularly

don't like them when the government sponsors them. I don't think the government should

play its, I don't think a function of the government is to play its people for suckers.

My dad has always said the lottery is a tax on the stupid, gambling, same thing.

It's a tax on stupidity.
