Lottery Is A Tax On The Poor by cocolacec(m): 9:40am On Oct 17, 2018
Leave it to Fox News to use even the lottery to bash President Obama. After diggin up a 2000 clip of then State Senator Barack Obama criticizing lotteries as a "regressive tax" that targets poor people, Sean Hannity attacked him for "class warfare." Guest James Taranto, from the Wall Street Journal, took it a step further. He waved off any concern by explaining that poor people play the lottery because they're stupid and suggested they deserve to lose.

A proper evaluation on the advantages and disadvantages of playing the lottery. We all know the chances of winning is extremely small and yet millions of Americans buy the lottery every week. The average is an eye popping $5 a week! Some do win against all odds but not everyone can be the few lucky ones. There are better ways to setup your finances to almost guarantee your financial success rather than rely on some tiny chance that may or may not happen.
