Vegas is doing well on and off of both vices. Just saying.How about Prostitution? I mean - the people who are going to hire prostitutes are going to do it anyway, right?
Why not keep that money in state and just tax it? Right?
Same logic.
(And FWIW, I'm really not opposed OR supportive of a State lottery -don't really care either way. It's simply a tax on people who don't understand mathematics. - But the problem is, it's a scam in virtually every State that's done it, and NO State that's adopted a lottery has ever lowered their other taxes).
Anyways not going to get into this too far because it’s....
But I want a better baseball team, and an Alabama lottery is a system that could aid in that since teams like Vandy, USCE, LSU, and UF all use lottery scholarships for their baseball teams. I have no more sympathy for a gambler than a drunk, but I see more upside of using gambling money than alcohol money. IMO
