Curt,
Here in NY, millions are made on people that buy "scratch off" tickets and lottery. The money raised is supposed to go towards education.
Yeah, right. I still get a huge school tax bill.
Seems to me that the people that take chances (gamblers) are the "suckers" that get exploited. Sorry, but the "powers that be" use whatever they can to raise revenue. We are easy.
Should the state fund free college education to everyone? I don't think so.
I commuted so that I could get my bachelors, then commuted some more for my masters. Did anyone pay my way? No.
I worked a job after classes, worked summers, and lived on hot dogs and macaroni.
I set my goals and worked hard to reach them.
Taking money from gamblers is bogus. I agree that the gamblers of Ohio aren't being treated fairly. Do those that receive the funding appreciate it?
Your guess is as good as mine.
