You didn’t intend it that way, but this cartoon clearly mocks trickle-down economics by showing the rich guy upset that ‘lucky duck’ got a whole dollar, used to buy bargain food, out of the thousands the rich guy spent on luxuries.
A more accurate cartoon would be ‘lucky duck’ now working a full time job since ‘rich guy’ spent his $. An even better one would be to show the cyclical prosperity by having ‘lucky duck’ now able to buy a new car from Mr. richguy’s company.
My father calls the lotery the poor mans tax.
I can honestly say I lost a lot more in the stock market than I ever lost playing any lottery. Actually, I think I’m ahead on the lottery; only play when it’s over $2M, 3-4 times a year, and won a couple hundred once.
Think of all the “goods” you could buy with tha money and how many jobs you might spawn.
Gambling: average payoff is negative.
Investing: average payoff is positive.
“When the lottery hits $100M or more, I buy a few tickets. I dont expect to win, but its a nice little dream.”
I found a $5 bill on the ground years ago.
I keep it in my wallet, thinking about ways to turn that $5 into a business.
It’s a nice little dream, one much more viable than giving it away in hopes the government might lavish riches on me in return.
Actually, I did intend it that way. ;)
Why do you libs always have to lie? Why? You know, don't bother answering. I already know the answer and don't feel like (nor will I) read anything else you post here.
apparently they can afford to play the lottery.
they get more back from government than 1300 bucks anyway.
playing the lottery is voluntary,.......for now.
Its supposed to be a free country. If you want to gamble on the lotto thats your buisness.
some derm libtard politician in nj or ny is pissed that some people have private generators for themseslves and the poor don’t.
