    Amazing how people will spend a portion of their income for such a minute chance at winning a sum of money, but when asked to give up a smaller portion so that poor people can get treatment, or an education, they assert that the government is stealing from them. Aren’t human lives more valuable than money?

    It is one of the only legal types of taxation because it is voluntary and you at least have a shot at getting something back.
