The big sales pitch to every state to get the lottery is that it's going to education. But then there's been a lot of op-eds about how much really gets to education. It hasn't worked out in the way, in many, many cases, that it was promised to work out.
I always bring this up, but it's like so many of these thought processes really end up boiling down to, again, kind of Kantian or utilitarian. Because like you could look at it just from a Kantian point of view and go like, yeah, if someone wants to buy a lottery ticket, they should be free to buy a lottery. They want to buy a lottery ticket.
And the state should take that money and use it for something good. Great. On the surface, that's very defendable. But then if you just step back and what are the results of it? Well, the results are that the lowest income people in the state are paying for education.
That doesn't like.
Well, or I'm sure that scholarship, the HOPE scholarship does benefit a ton of low income people, but disproportionately low income people aren't going to University of Georgia.
Yeah.
Yeah. So it's just interesting. Like both both arguments are really fair. But at some point you got to like zoom up 30,000 feet and go like, well, what at the end of the day, what's happening?
Well, poor people are paying for education.
I wonder if it should be a tax base we're trying to create. I don't know if that's the place we should be looking for tax revenue.
To me, that's maybe like the kind of ethical, like they should have a lottery, but 100% of the money should go into the pot to be won by the people who want to play it.
Should the state find a different way to fund education?
Sure, sure, sure.
from the state.
Yeah, yeah.
That's a dangerous search. You're now on a anti-white nationalist.
We've got a single person cell.
And they're, this'll shock you, they're not white. Yeah.
That great movie with, what's his tush? Cutie Pie from Ken.
He played a... White nationalist? He played, yeah, a Nazi who was Jewish. And it's a real story. Oh, God.
The Believer.
