Lottery TaxationReply
I think there's too much government and too much government spending for the good of the population, the future health of the economy, even the survivability of the nation over the long run. Too much regulation, too much defense spending and war propaganda, too much big brother, and too much taking responsibility for matters the citizenry ought to be handling for themselves.However, having said that, if there's going to be a completely pervasive, intrusive, paternal, suffocating government of t

Why do you play the lottery?Reply
I play because I feel that I'm undertaxed and the government doesn't take enough of my money already. So, I therefore play a game which returns about 50% of the money wagered and fattens the wallets of overpaid government workers already earning at least 75K+ per year. Oh yeah, we can't forget about the Section 8 housing residents who get to sit around and do nothing because they pay about $25 or $10 a month in rent while I'm out busting my *ss 40 hours a week in order to pay full rent.

Some information about PowerballReply
You seem to be trying to give some sort of tutorial on the honesty of the lottery but to me it seems to be much too vague and filled with far too many protestations alluding to its honesty and the gullibility of the readers. You knew a guy who worked for the lottery and that's all the info he could provide you. The only provable facts-I'll accept them as provable-concern a Philadelphia drawing which obviously would be pubic info and so it doesn't amount to any inside info. Give us some specif

How do you share your winnings when......
....Everytime you give money to someone you have to pay a gift tax?So, If you win the government takes taxes out, then when you give money away to family and friends they have to pay taxes, and somewhere down the line the Government will end up with well over 50%.How do you share your winnings without the government eating up your winnings?

Online lotteries in BrazilReply
I've been doing qute a bit of research into online gaming recently and came across this forum while researching online cross border lotteries. At the risk of interrupting a private argument it seems to me that both of you have missed something here and that is that WGI is not what the world would generally term a 'pyramid' scheme. Pyramid schemes are typically based purely or substantially on the money that changes hands rather than offering any kind of product. Pyramid schemes all dventually f

An old science fiction novel The weapon shops of Isher Said, The right to be armed is the right to be free I read that a long time ago and it sounded right to me, but I have never really been pro-arms, what I am trying tosay is that the laws should favor people or the people (citizens) and not the government, Ronald Reagan said some thing like he had given the power or the government back to the people, but that is still not true.I am sure that this kind of government is not what the founding
