mathetes User ID: 18119575 United States 11/29/2012 01:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation	Poor Households Earning $13K Per Year Spend Over $1K On Lottery Tickets States across the nation rely on poor suckers to fund their spending. No, we’re not talking about taxpayers – we’re talking about lottery ticket purchasers. According to new studies, households earning $13,000 per year spend almost $1,170 per year on lottery tickets – 9 percent of total income. As it turns out, many people living in poverty make poor financial decisions.

The lottery is more of a tax on hope than anything.

Spending their welfare checks trying to make it big. It would make me sad if it didn't piss me off so much. They can't, or won't, work but they can spend hours and hours in the casinos. Ineptocracy- (in-ep-toc'-ra-cy) - a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers.
