Definition of a mentality/bottom feeder: Someone who truly believes they are entitled to—and worth—vast unheard sums of money on an immense scale without so much as having expended one ounce of effort, time, experience, education, self discipline, intelligence, heartache, disappointment, fear, danger, repeated frustration, or risk in the endeavor. And our truly demented society preaches that we can—all of us—accomplish this feat just by buying a lottery ticket. Americans as a whole are the most ignorant people on the face of the earth and you all wonder why we are so hated? It’s citizens of other countries who laugh and shake their heads at who this country’s eligible voters elected TWICE IN A ROW as president. I mean ONCE could be a stupid mistake right? But TWICE??????? Yah, “stupid” doesn’t even BEGIN to cut it.
A lottery ticket-buyer feels “entitled” to nothing, and he or she pays money for the chance. I get that lotteries, in general, are a “tax on the stupid.” Question becomes, why do you want to take my ability to buy a lottery ticket away?
