Heh... sounds like the perfect tax... and 100% voluntary... I used to work with a lot of deadwood (I fit right in there) and one of the common sayings (along with "I don't mind the heat, but this humidity!") was to the effect that they never play the lottery, because it's a waste of money (West Michigan speaks) -- unless the jackpot got really high. Made no sense, still makes no sense. :^)

The dinosaurs took several million years to die out, it wasn't overnight.

Not what the fossil record says. extinction following KT boundary event estimated to take 8000 to 12000 years to complete

Hard to ignore that potential 450,000,000% return when your almost guaranteed 100% loss is only $1.
