Lotteries are TAXES on the poor and stupid.
Why not instead levy additional charges on remittances to Mexico..?
Such remittances rank 2nd only to OIL for Mexico’s national income.
Tell me about it. While I have bought very few lottery tickets in my life for a while, just for fun, I had used the idea of bias — which is actually real — and a few other similar tricks (most machines do not stir adequately in pair bring drawn is one example) to construct and maintain a wheel of 45 tickets that had I been actually buying tickets, at a price of $45 a play, would have over time only lost me something like $5 for every $6 spent.
I considered that a remarkable performance ... and yet I might as well have been burning money were I actually buying tickets.
As you may have heard it said: lotteries are taxes on those who don’t understand math ... but they’d be a tax on anyone who does as well.
No, lotteries are not taxes. Lotteries are a VOLUNTARY means of separating fools from their money.
I have no problem with taxing stupidity. We could pay off the national debt.
Shuuush....DJT might know that and has a plan....
