$136M Powerball winner sued for 'dooring' cyclistReply
Right on! I follow my state bicycle advocate and the other national ones they like to pal around with. I also created a blog to point out their errors in their visions and junk legislation that won't improve bicycling safety, and instead is an assault on drivers, and a war on cars. I want to point out that because they flat out refuse to educate non-drivers about the dangers of being around motorized traffic, these problems with non-drivers are always going to exist. If motorists would ge

Pennsylvania Lottery to drive profits by boosting payoutsReply
Everyone missed the most important part of this article when the politicians voted 197-0 to return only 25 percent of ticket revenue to programs, arguing, in effect, that narrowing the state's slice of the pie could allow the pie to grow and by enough that it would result in a larger slice. Thats what President Reagan argued for and got in the 1980's when he cut marginal tax rates and got alot more revenue coming in to Uncle Sugar Sam! They only went along with this legislation because t

Proposal to ban welfare recipients from playing lotteryReply
If you have money to play th elottery then you don't need help from the rest of us to buy food or pay your rent. You can substitute the words, cigarettes, alcohol, cases of pop, bags of potato chips, etc. and most will agree with you. However, the legislation isn't just about what people on welfare buy, but the vendor selling the lottery ticket would be penalized if they knew the person was on welfare or in bankruptcy. I've seen people pay for groceries using EBT cards that drive off in

$32 million Mega Millions ticket claimed in LA areaReply
I agree with the tax amount, but I think all states that have state income taxes should follow California's example and NOT tax lottery winnings. If I were elected to Congress or the Presidency, I would introduce legislation or push Congress to exempt lottery winnings from federal taxes. I would more than offset that loss of revenue by legalizing and taxing MJ and other illicit drugs as well as prostitution of all types except underage, of course (minimum age will be same as legal age of consent

Illinois Lottery to add Powerball online ticket salesNews Story
Powerball would be added to the mix of lottery games that Illinois offers online under legislation that squeaked through the House Monday. The multi-state Powerball game would join Lotto and Mega Millions, the two games Illinois put online in March when it became the first state in the nation to sell lottery tickets by Internet. Dismissing opposition, Rep. Lou Lang, D-Skokie, said the measure simply adds a third game online rather than opening the door to widespread gambling that the bill'

Proposed Buffett Rule and How It Would Apply to Some Lottery Winners Who InvestReply
Not necessarily. IMO, we shouldn't encourage or discourage any behavior with the tax code, or any other legislation. Most investments don't have a much higher EV than a few percent. Most people just want to ignore the potential of loss, and/or don't do the math necessary to determine a proper amount to invest. Every investment has risk, even treasury bonds. An expected value of 101-105% per year, is probably the norm for most good investments, because you have to figure, then CAN lose mone

Massachusetts Lottery to end TV broadcastsReply
Just like Obamacare, they excluded themselves and their families from it. I don't think so... http://www.snopes.com/politics/medical/28thamendment.asp In fact, the final version of the health care reform legislation that was eventually passed in March 2010 stated that 'Members of Congress and congressional staff' will only have access to plans that are created by the health care bill or offered through the exchanges established by the bill... --Jimmy4164
