- Lotteries a questionable system

“To the Editor;

‘When gambling is. national-
ized by the government, with the
profits | being plowed into
various government-supported
projects and programs, the
message - being received by
children is that personal

| -development is based on a game
' of chance.

- The value of these programs is
questionable if they are based on

-gambling. And is the lottery a

tax, too? Let’s not kid ourselves
— every dollar generated
through lottery ticket sales is a
dollar less on the tax burden.
Lotteries are.a.regressive form
of taxation because lower. in-
come people pay a relatively

higher percentage of their in-

come when they participate ‘in
lotteries.

Our society may marvel over a
scheme that makes taxation such

-fun, but I see it as a cruel hoax

onthe poor. As a tax, lotteries
are a costly form to supervise
and administer, with a large
proportion of the money going
to an army of: employees who
run it and advertisements to

- seduce people into patronizing. -

it,

When I think of this, I am.

reminded of the words of the
economist John Maynard

Keynes: ‘When the capital de-

velopment of a country becomes
a by-product of the activities of

a casino, the job. (of governing)

‘is likely to be ill-done.”’

Our attraction to the gam-
bling mentality is just another
example of the way in which our
generation is deceiving itself in
the remedies it chooses for ad-
dressing public policy issues.
