Men Throw Out $1-Million Powerball Ticket And Sue New Jersey Lottery

#42

Quote:I beg to differ on that one.  Taxes are not necessarily "forced" on anyone.  However, the State of Florida makes a huge sum of money off of the lottery.  How many "winners" are there compared to "losers" when it comes to the lottery?  Who primarily plays the lottery?

 

Sure it is not a direct tax like most of us pay (property taxes), but it does add to the treasury.  It is more-or-less an indirect tax, and who is paying it?
 

How in the world can you compare something you pay for on your own free will to a tax?  Just because the government receives the money doesn't make it a tax.  I don't care which income bracket you fall in, it doesn't make it a tax.
