I wonder if he actually believes that?

Can not understand why people would want to make themselves look like idiots by making asinine comments on national TV like this.

Todd said that though "they are not writing a check to the federal government," poorer Americans "are contributing arguably more money to education [by buying lottery tickets or at casinos] than the rich." One can argue how lucrative casinos in urban areas are or how much lottery tickets actually fund public education, but nobody is forced to play Powerball, Mega Millions, or go to casinos. Americans, by law, must pay taxes. That's a big difference...Given the choice, I would rather blow the thousands of dollars a year I currently pay in income tax by playing the slot machines in Atlantic City while sipping free whiskey sodas instead of sitting up nights, tyring to figure out if I am allowed to offset the amount in field 117a from the pro-rated net inverse amount in field 125b.

I’m not sure of the numbers, but I wholeheartedly support state lotteries and legalized gambling because they are an excellent way to recover and recycle welfare dollars that shouldn’t have been stolen from taxpayers in the first place.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Well, gee Chuck, isn’t it the obligation of government (at least in the view of the elite)to make sure that lower economic class folks are relieved of the burden of government costs?
In that case, shouldn’t the government remove the temptation by ending the lottery and casinos?

My brother-in-law spends between $10,000-$15,000 a year on his gambling. My federal taxes are quite a bit higher than this and I’m not even rich.

If you look at the math involved, he’s got a point... and might be right.
