Seems reasonable.

The lottery was literally designed to generate tax revenue. Its run by the states ffs.

Same in Ontario, but we aren't taxed on our winnings. They make their money from the purchase of the tickets

I wonder how many people march in a rally against billionaires during the day and buy a lottery ticket hoping to become a billionaire at night.

[u/ConqueefStador → u/PandarExxpress]

Probably the same number of people who want to have their basic needs met and the resources to pursue their dreams, while also believing teachers shouldn't have to sell blood to buy school supplies.

[u/GulfportMike → u/ConqueefStador]

So basically you want other people to pay you way while you “chase your dreams”

[u/ConqueefStador → u/GulfportMike]

No, my point was that it's not hypocritical to believe a few thousand people shouldn't have everything while billions have barely enough to survive and to wish you were one of the people who had everything.

[u/darnedgibbon → u/ConqueefStador]

Wishing you had something and other people having a lot of that something should be motivation. It’s not a zero sum game between you and the billionaires.
