N.Y. couple wins $162M lottery jackpot - but owes $1MReply
Nuance. If it's our money try telling them what to do with it. Try telling them what not to do with it. Better yet, try refusing to give it to them. No, it's clearly their money and you can't do a dadgum thing about them stealing it from you, not that you would anyway. They've placed themselves above us and enacted laws making us subservient to them, all with benign indifference from the masses or support from willing collaborators, addle-minded lemmings, fawning sycophants and devout nanny-stat

N.Y. couple wins $162M lottery jackpot - but owes $1MReply
The guy from Tennessee didn't sell out. In fact, Tennessee is opting out of the healthcare scam and has asserted it's sovereignty to the federal government recently. I know the real world works with wheeling and dealing but usually with your own money; not money confiscated from others in pursuit of things they object to. And if this corruption continues after I'm pushing up daisies it'll be because of the apathy and complacency it requires from a lazy populace willing to look the other wa

Nino, how about we hold the government crooks to the same standard for fleecing us? All the way down (up) the dadgum line! Let's make them weasels abide by the same laws and burdens they put on us. Do you think it's right that they can fine and imprison you for not buying government insurance when they exempt themselves from the same law? Why do they get the right to refuse it and not us? Do you approve of that? Do you think it's right that they do all their legislating in secret and pass leg

From Riches To RagsReply
Sfilippo, You are exactly right, and the reason we have had 60 years of prosperity is because everyone was taxed to death during world war ii. Americans who earned as little as $500 per year paid income tax at a 23 percent rate, while those who earned more than $1 million per year paid a 94 percent rate. We basically had socialism during the 1940s, which redistributed wealth, and then allowed 60 years of capitalism. William Greider said that the economy is like a poker game. He said that i

From Riches To RagsReply
My take is - Capitalism works great for about 75 years. Once the cash finds it's way to the top though, everything just locks up. Those that could see it coming just made it worse by starting a feeding frenzy prior to this mess. Now, the Federal Reserve can't even entice the banks to loan money by lowering interest rates. If the Feds just print more cash, inflation kicks into high gear, and we definitely don't want that! Cash is supposed to flow from the working man into the economy and then

TENN Lottery Drawings Read this:Reply
Indeed, there are all types! There are certainly people who believe they can beat a computerized drawing, and hence want to keep them. It's a small percentage of people, but it does exist. Personally, I think it has more to do with a lack of knowledge about computers than anything else. It is also an ignoring and/or disregard of the increased possibility of corruption and errors. How many times in the past few of years have you heard of computerized drawings in which the drawings were

Why can teenagers play the lotto?Reply
Guesser, my friend, Hugh Heffner doesn't film children having sex. He also pays the models in his magazines a lot of money. I'm too tired to get into a long discussion about GGW. You obviously don't know how many times this piece of dirt has been arrested for using underage girls in his videos. He's been found guilty on drug possession, pornography, and the corruption of a minor (some of the girls in his videos are only 16) and gets off with a fine and community service. The police found coc

real drawings and predetermined drawsReply
They say: Believe the worst, but hope for the best Or something like that. People are people, I don't care who they are and or what or which position they hold. Greed, corruption and power (And money?) they go well together, hand in hand. But even the poor have a good share of some of that. Above all, remember, to humans a dollar is a dollar and they add to many dollars, a dollar here and a dollar there, a dollar a day equals to 365.25 dollars in 1 year (More or less, as a ye

In addition to the quote by Todd, this story features two LotteryPost members: Losingjeff and Jim695.We worked with Mr. Leininger for a year to bring this story to press. Some things not mentioned in the article:The Hoosier Lottery downloaded their Computerized Electronic Random Number Generator from the internet, according to Joe Pfister, their CPA.
