How on earth is a lottery a tax??? All contributors to it are willing.

So is a sales tax.

Sales tax is voluntary?!?!? You mean I could have opted to have the sales tax deducted from my purchases all this time?!?!

You mean that by participating in a sales tax I will be contributing to a pool that is organized by a private corporation that will be submitting my sales tax in with other willing contributors whom will by luck of the draw decide who will recieve the bounty of that sales in return in either one lump sum or 26 annual payments?

Lottery is not a tax. Nor is it legislated in a manner that requires everyone to participate in it.

I've decided not to pay the sales tax any more. From now on, I'm going to live on air (the fact that you cannot fatten capons so notwithstanding).
