Re: Now wonder why Kraft is one of the most successful owners [merged]
"Lotteries often are described as a tax on the poor and/or the stupid. And for good reason. Every time I visit the local convenience store, folks arrive in beat up old vehicles (including a ‘68 VW bus), and they somehow find a way to consistently plunk down ten bucks — five for a pack of cigarettes, and five for a fi(Please be quiet - edited)l of scratch-and-lose tickets."
I agree. Saw it myself just this morning.
Why is the evil billionaire Kraft exploiting the poor and stupid?

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck." RAH
