Couldn't one argue that convenience stores are themselves a "tax on the poor?"

This is not dissimilar from the fault in arguments used by fat people suing McDonald's or homosexuals demanding equal access.

These arguments dismiss the fact that behaviors are based on personal choice.

I know...I'm just making the point that this guy is claiming that selling lottery tickets is immoral, but is engaged in a type of business which is not all that dissimilar.
