What do you think of the lottery and its use to fund education programs?
I think it’s GREAT.
There’s a karma to it.
School is what – it’s where they tell you here’s what you should do and here’s what you shouldn’t do. Study, learn, get good grades, stay off drugs, obey the law and you’ll get ahead in life. Don’t horse around, do drugs, break the law, gamble… or you’ll fall behind.
And usually what happens? The state makes the ones who follow that advice spend their adult lives supporting the ones who don’t.
The state SAYS do X and not Y, but the state’s actions give the opposite advice – they say well, if you do Y, we’ll make the people who do X support you.
The lottery is funded largely through the gambling losses of people with gambling habits – people who didn’t follow the advice they got in school.
Well, isn’t that finally working how it SHOULD work?
I don’t know, I see some justice here, finally.
I think it’s great. It paid for my 4 years of college. I don’t believe the lottery is funded mostly by people with gambling habits. Maybe I’m decieved, but so many people buy lottery tickets who aren’t addicted to gambling.
And school didn’t tell me how to live my life. My parents did. The only education I got in college was related to my core classes and English, my major.
I kinda see your point about the responsible people in life supporting the irresponsible. But, you still get far more out of being responsible than you would out of being dependent on the government.
