  1. There was a reason a state-run lottery was prohibited by Indiana’s Constitutions until we became so “enlightened” years ago…all “for the children,” of course.

    It’s been accurately said this was a voluntary tax on the poor, since they “play” the lottery in disproportionate numbers.

    Author Ayn Rand accurately opined, “You can ignore reality, but you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.” And here we are.

  2. Great article. This is a good example of the unseen downside of gambling. It no longer requires traveling to the track, driving to the casino or even to the convenience store for lottery tickets. Gambling is available literally “at your fingertips”. And where might all these dollars might have been spent if not lost on gambling. No one ever talks about the lost economic impact lost from sports betting by phone. Where would that person have spent those dollars lost gambling? Aside from State taxes collected, gambling by phone has little economic impact within the State unlike casinos, which at least employ people and racing, which supports an equestrian industry that also employs people.
