in Why It’s Sometimes Immoral To Treat The Poor and Uneducated As Equals (A Libertarian Essay) on danielmiessler.com | grep understanding
You said: "The lottery is nothing more than a cleverly disguised tax on the poor."

From the Dept of Treasury :
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB115714468338152...

The top 0.1% of taxpayers by income pay 17.4% of all federal taxes (earning 9.1% of the income),

The top 1% pay 36.9% (earning 19%), the top 5% pay 57.1% (earning 33.4%)

The bottom 50% pay 3.3% (earning 13.4%).

Considering that the bottom 50% only pay 3.3% of taxes are you really worried about how the poor are getting a raw deal in America? The numbers say you're wrong. Or do you argue that these numbers are fabricated?
