The lottery is a bad idea. How so? Well according to Nathan Tabor, lotteries are opposed by God and people shouldn't have anything to do with them. They are sinful and morally wrong. Secondly, they undermine the importance of people's work ethic and saving money up for the future. Also, he claims that lotteries are a disappointment waiting to happen for those who are poor/in poverty and believes its unfair to people. He quotes: "...the lottery is really a hidden and regressive tax on those least able to afford it: "inner-city" ghetto dwellers plus those on Welfare and others of a lower socio-economic status. These are the people who buy Lottery tickets in disproportionate numbers, hoping for a lucky bet and a big win to boost them out of poverty." He not only believes gambling and the lottery are against his religious morals, but he worries what they will do to the poor and how there is virtually no chance of winning. I happen to agree with all of his points of views because the gambling and lottery world is nothing but a place of let downs. It will only crush people's hopes and take up all their money.

I think that people should just stay away from the lottery all togeather and save their money for things that they need like food and shelter
ReplyDeleteI agree with the first comment, people should invest their money on something that's worth it, they shouldn't spend the money they don't have. People are not going to always win, some people may buy lottery tickets all their life and never even win anything. It's just a risk taking game.
