What question would the Baptist General Convention of Texas like for state officials to "axe" the lottery?

I wish they would outlaw hip hop rap music. They hurt the poor more than the lottery, democrats, Obama, malt liqour, cigarettes, high fructose corn syrup, McDonalds, welfare, and stereos that go boom, boom boom.

BTW: I only hit vote once, so any beyond the first vote are from other....and well earned!!!!

@satx edubs: I'd sit here and just keep hitting the vote button until "they" stopped me if I could. BRAVO!!!!

It's not a tax on the poor, it is a tax on people that suck at math. The NAACP, Sharpton, Jackson...etc have done more to further racial tensions then most people realize. I cannot stand what this country has turned into. If you don't like the lottery, don't play it. If you don't like a T.V. show, don't watch it. If you don't like a song, don't listen to it. Whatever you choose, mind your own F'N business and do not pretend that you know what is better for me than I do. Educate the people you feel are making these mistakes. More laws and government aren't the answer. And while I'm ranting, get past the race issues for crying out loud. We'll never progress if we don't move the fook on.

I'm sure that if poor neighborhoods didn't have stores that sell lottery tickets, the NAACP would be complaining about that and accusing the Texas Lottery of racism.

Im surprised the NAACP didnt say the lottery was racist. LOL Because whites only win. LOL

You would think that the NAACP would have better things to do with their time. How about going into the ghetto and raising your educational standards? Hire top teachers, administrators, clean up the ghetto and give your kids educational opportunities. Quit playing the victim.

Lottery tickets a tax on the poor?!? Puh-lease! How moronic! No one forces people to buy tickets. It's supply & demand, folks. There are more ticket sellers in poor neighborhoods because there are more buyers in poor neighborhoods. And that's because the poor have an entitlement mentality, thinking they deserve to get something for nothing, thanks to Obama-Socialism. It's not the government's job to save us from ourselves; it's called Personal Accountability!!

Eliminate tattoo businesses, the prey on the poor. Eliminate cigarettes, they prey on and kill the poor. Eliminate the Democratic party, they prey on the poor while their politicians become wealthy.
