Betting on regulation
Re “State lottery fails to inspire public,” April 5
The Times writes that overhauling the lottery may “open the door for more gambling by low-income residents who can ill afford it.”
If it is really the responsibility of society to guide low-income residents through life, then I suggest that the government do what it does best -- regulate. I can even see the sign: “Low-income residents caught playing the lottery may be fined up to $5,000.”
