FYI, the lottery is a regressive tax disproportionately paid by the people who can least afford it, and little of the proceeds actually go to community funding.

We should fund community services by taxing the rich, not by conning working people into thinking they'll become rich.

@rbreich What is so monumentally hypocritical about state lottery systems -- preying on people who like most don't really understand how bad the odds are -- is how much advertising for these is done in the poorest parts of town where residents can least afford to throw money away. Horrific.
