Starting a national lottery would put a lot of state lotteries out of business.

You wonder why the Dems are so infatuated with lotteries, don't you? All they do is transfer money from the poor to the rich.

You can be sure that Steve Cohen will be making a lot of noise for socialistic issues, and probably will not shut up until he has whatever it is that he wants to accomplish.

The poor and foolish will play as many lotteries as they can each week. I have seen people cashing checks at the gas station and the first thing they buy are lottery tickets. It is a way of the government getting more money.

Lets put this on the list of bad ideas by Dems. While it may be a chance to 'tax' the poor, it is a bad idea to keep giving the government more and more streams of revenue. They spend all they get.

Buying lottery tickets=Paying your stupid tax.

The Mega Millions put the VA out of business. National systems will just create large pools of money to rob by both parties.

Socialists love lotteries not because of their regressive nature, but rather because they reinforce the idea that success is due to chance rather than integrity, excellence and good ideas.
