Tennessee Senator criticizes Lottery vacation, sick leave policyReply
I understand your reaction if you're the government worker getting laid off. However, philosophically, I believe smaller government is better, and I strongly believe in capitalism and competition as the means to achieve the best possible results.Taxes pay for government jobs. The more government jobs, the higher the taxes.On the other hand, companies make their money independent of taxes, and actually generate income for the government because they themselves are taxed.Therefore, letting corpo

Feds seize gambling site Bodog, indict founderReply
So if I understand it properly, the owners of this gambling site ran a business, advertised like any other business, paid it's winnings to its winners. Seems like someone I would want to do business with. Those would be the things I would look for in dealing with a company of some type. Last I looked, I didn't have any off or unpleasant dealings with people who were stealing, acting out of control or any other undesirable behaviour from anyone who was a customer of this gambling site. If

Pennsylvania lottery winners to be taxed for the first timeReply
I think that's fair, Brown said. If I win $75 million, I wouldn't mind paying 3-percent state taxes. Brown may not mind, but im sure MOST of us DO MIND! Ignorance at its best. But is anyone surpised. Why does government constantly think it's ok for the people to fork over cash on a consistent basis. Give government every single penny and you will have an even larger deficit, larger govt and ZERO liberty. Lottery players deserve 100% of their winnings. The State already makes

THOMAS JEFFERSON BELIEVED THE SOLE PURPOSE OF GOVERNMENT WAS TO SERVE ITS CITIZENS.We do not belong to the government, the government belongs to us.Whenever a government persecutes its citizens, it is no longer a government of the people for the people.IT IS A TYRANNY.

Ruling by Justice Dept. opens a door on online gamblingReply
If States want to fix their budgets.... they should STOP spending money they don't have. Government is always looking for a way to find more revenue because they can't stop borrowing for things that they do not have any business being involved with. Instead of finding more ways for revenue, they should find more ways to be less intrusive in the lives of the people instead of viewing us as a resource that can be tapped at will for their failure. These States and their budget woes make my blood

Lawmakers going after unclaimed lottery moneyReply
You could give government ALL THE MONEY THAT EVER EXISTED and guess what, it would still claim that it needs more! Just more evidence that government has at least for me, out served it's purpose and has become the abuser of property rights. The very sacred ground from which Liberty grows, lives and thrives. The moment that happened, was the moment that Liberty was being doused with chemical weed repellents so that Liberty would no longer grow and power would be further consolidated into

State lotteries head to Washington to enforce states' rights on gamblingReply
No, the Federal Government don;t need any more new rule or regulations to steal any more freedom of choice from people. We are adults, here lately our government, as gone to far with their restricting adult activity. The don't give us credit, that we're wise enough to know what we really want to do. or credit to make our own decisions. Our Government, is inching closer to the line of no return. It seem to be head toward taking FREE WILL away. A right the Almighty give not them. Enough is enough.

Arkansas Lottery director's benefits in conflict with law?Reply
The entire Federal, State, and Municipal Government Pension Scheme makes my blood boil. Decades ago, civil servants were exactly that, servants of the people. The average private sector worker earned more than the average government employee. Now with all the wrangling and scheming unions have done to enhance the defined benefit plans of government employees combined with the year after year of annual wage increases, the average government employee earns double what an average private sector wor

DC Lottery not paying winners during government shutdownReply
The article is wrong. The city government is funded 100 percent by local taxes. The federal government must then give permission to the city to spend its own money. The federal approporiation is a partial reimbursement of the tax money collected by the federal government because the City does not have the right to vote. No where else in the country has to wait for that permission to spend its own money. Everyone always cofuses the city of Washington with the District of Columbia because of
