States across the nation rely on poor suckers to fund their spending. No, we
’re not talking about taxpayers – we’re talking about lottery ticket
purchasers. According to new studies, households earning $13,000 per year
spend almost $1,170 per year on lottery tickets – 9 percent of total income
. As it turns out, many people living in poverty make poor financial
decisions.
Yet states rely more and more on measures that target those people. Taxes on
cigarettes and alcohol disproportionately affect the poor; lotteries target
the poor. None of this makes the economy any better. In fact, it
impoverishes the poor even more, making them more dependent on government.
Those who are spending over a thousand dollars a year on lottery tickets are
likely receiving at least that much in government assistance to make up the
difference.
President Obama’s entire economic plan is predicated on the bizarre notion
that taking away money from those who are most likely to invest it well and
handing it to those who are likely to invest it poorly will help the economy
. It’s idiocy. And it’s gambling with America’s future. | C****n
发帖数: 2324 | 2 Interesting finding. I have spent about $20 on lottery all my life, and
gambled probably total of $1000 in Las Vegas all my life.
Lottery/Gamble, is essentially a entertainment, that's why in Las Vegas they
call it Gaming industry. It's for entertainment! Not for Profit!
This means these poor families spent over $1000 each year on Luxury
entertainment! Subsidized by the government, by the way. Right or wrong, you
decide!
On the other hand, this helped Las Vegas! :-)
