Taxing the Poor

 

The lottery is a great tax on the poor to pay for the things that the rich and middle classes can enjoy, like opera and football.

Here in East Anglia, there has been a large grant to create a new Fen near Peterborough. How many of those who bought tickets will go and say that they contributed to it? One or two perhaps.

I never gamble on any lottery, but I do contribute to good causes and especially those that the great and the good never support.

I also bet on horses, which is much better value and if you work at it, you can make a tidy profit and have fun.

So lets keep the lottery, so we pay less taxes.
