OK after Watching John Olivers YouTube poking fun at state lotteries in the US, I am reminded on why I'm opposed to them. Namely due to the harm they cause to the low income folks that mostly play them and the fact that states usually cut or remove other funding sources of programs that are supposed to funded by these lotteries.
And yes the majority of people who play the lottery are folks who can the least afford to play it.
My proposal? A Constitutional Amendment shutting down and forbidden both the Feds and the States from having the Lottery. Yes I know this would a very steep uphill battle to pass but I think it would well worth it to do.
