And this guy replaced David Gregory - and the difference is what, exactly???
God,the stupidity astonishes me.
.
They don’t call it the STUPID TAX for nothing. Poor and stupid tax. Gubmint giveth away and then taketh away.
What a clueless toad Uhhh Todd.
Government lotteries prey on those they claim I must give up my money to help. The money I end up providing for them thru entitlement programs ends up buying many tickets
So I bet I buy my share of tickets thru this money laundering scheme.
2. Is he really that stupid?
That is what conservatives and Tea Party have been saying!
Yes the STUPID is STRONG with this one.
what an idiot
Chuck Todd is full of $h1t.
Most conservatives are against illegal immigration because they don't pay taxes, among other legitimate objections. This article is saying that, although they don't write a check on 4/15, they actually pay more in other ways, namely, the lottery and casino gambling.
Therefore, all you suckers should know that these DREAMERS are putting good money into gov’t coffers - even more in taxes than you or I. So now that you hate-filled conservatives know this, lighten up on the amnesty thing.

Effin stoopit.
So take direct taxation out of the equation and deal strictly with taxation on dollars spent.
I still blow more money than most and it’s taxed for whatever rate that is.
Just a season of snowboarding will cost me $20k-$30k. Gas, hotels, food, top shelf booze, airfare, women...
That’s before I take vacations, which cost $4-$10k
Then there is my clothing. You don’t want to know what I spend a year.
Then there are the dinners and while I love Mexican food I love places like Daniels, Veritas, Red-O, Ago, Gary Danko, Boulevard, Koi L.A., Coi San Francisco, etc.
The Hell the poor pay more!
Cars? 5, brand new. You think that maintenance bill is frickin cheap? Not on new cars and not on Mercedes or BMW. ..
Went to Carmel last week. Had a hamburger and fries while taking in the ocean breeze, atop a cliff and one mile from the Bixby bridge.
Ahhhh! I love that place. Bill for my afternoon of self indulgence? $186. Experience? Uhhhh...priceless and shared a glass if wine with a beautiful woman I met.
The poor pay more?
You are a fatuous idiot.
It doesn’t effin compute and makes no sense.
Whatever the point, F Chuckin Todd, was trying to make, arghhhhh. FU!
wow. Breathtakingly dense.
Todd's wife currently works in direct mailing for Democrats and progressives.
Oh no...no conflict there.
I guess Todd thinks we can do away with income tax and still fund the behemoth welfare state? F Chuck is an idiot.
While I’m sure there is some money spent on lottery tickets that SHOULD be spent on food or children, no one can convince me some welfare rat has an extra $15K he spends each year at a casino or lotto. Total bullshit
speechless... it is written as if the producers should be thanking the moochers for the schools. I thought I’d look up my local district’s budget revenue... 1% funded by lottery... 9% TOTAL for all state and federal sources of revenue combined. 91% of the district revenue is from local sources (property tax, parcel tax, other local taxes, & foundation $). The education foundation is contributing more to the district than the state... twice as much as the federal revenues. Compare that to Oakland Unified...1.3% lottery, only 25% of funding derived from local sources... 75% from state & federal sources. Oakland Unified spends 13% more per student than my local district, yet scores considerably lower on the state’s standardized tests. Could the quality of education be influenced by something other than funding? /sarc
And, like Nancy Pelosi’s unemployment benefits, these welfare dollars generate a magical 30% dividend by putting more into the economy and public coffers than they take out in the first place.
