Stupidity tax is real.
Oh, the stupidity goes far beyond that. Lotto ticket prices went from $1 to $2 a couple years ago, I believe, then the seed money dropped from $40MM to $20MM. I believe it's slated to raise again from $2 to $5 per Powerball or Mega Millions ticket. Talk about inflation!
I see too many of the guys that work for us waste thirty or fifty bucks on scratch offs and draw tickets every week to doubt that at least $17B was spent on lotto tickets last year. I reckon the government has figured out that if they can't get a high income tax rate passed on lower wage earners, they can get just as much and more by selling them false hope.

I agree, just a bunch of pompous self-righteous Assholes. HEY LOOK AT ME !
I mean yeah, it’s a poor man’s tax but I could spare eight dollars a year for a Microscopic chance to win $500 million

I've actually stuck with my new years resolution to not spend a dime on lottery tickets. Proud of myself for that.
