Giving Away Your Money


The State of Tennessee , just telling it like it is. Tennessee felt it had come a long way when the lotto got passed through the law's hoops. By having the lotto , Tennessee is now considered to be a modern , upscale state to live in. Just look around and you'll see the beautiful country side being demolished for multi million dollar homes.
The thing about the lotto is that you are playing by someone else's rules. Just how much do you expect to win , when the lotto commission decides how much they are willing to part with ? So you win a few million dollars. They've got the rules written so that you have to pay them a percentage of the amount you won. Yep , they get a piece of your action. And , we have'nt started talking about the Uncle Sam's cut yet.
While at the store , a person bought 30 dollar$ of tickets and he was scratching away , just knowing he had won the big one. After watching him scratch it all , he looked around noticing the people looking back at him. You could sense everyone's thoughts , " LOOSER ! ! ! "
So when you see me at the store , don't be surprised if you don't see me buy a lotto ticket. The odds of me winning are stacked against me. It's the people running the lotto commission that has the odds of winning stacked up for themselves.
Remember they said they would help pay for school ? Remember when they said there was'nt enough funds to help pay for that school ? Remember when they gave themselves those big bonuses from the funds that did'nt exist ? Remember those bonuses are bigger than the amounts paid by other states ? You're just having fun giving your money away to someone else. That's all it is. If you know how to manapulate your taxes , you can write it off. Yep , living in Tennessee does have it's advantages , don't it.
