Are we talking about making lotteries better for the government? Better for the players? "Better" in the sense that the Left will approve of them?<br /><br />I've played a few scratch-off tickets before but frankly I find the lottery boring (thankfully, I know enough statistics to entertain no delusions about winning). To me, it's just gambling that has received special status, and I don't get it, so I suppose my personal view is that a taxed, non-government lottery program would be fine.<br /><br />Either way, I hope you're wrong in your belief that people on the Left see business as a zero-sum game.Pete Abbatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06938045103916078576noreply@blogger.com
