haha! There are more recirculating Einstein attributions than bacteria in your body...I suppose I could do an Einstein stamp series: Faster Than The Speed of Thought.

05.08.17 Dare Mister Ian C. Dengler, ... Informative & conscientious commentary----as are your usual "artist-stamp" contributions but this one came with ample explanation.  I am often reminded of the quote attributed to Albert Einstein (as I pass  & or stop at the Lottery Ticket counter at the grocery store):  "The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over & over again but expecting different results." Just the other day during a rain storm)  the lightening came very close. Naturally, my response was I that I needed to get out of the house as quickly as possible & to purchase another lottery ticket.  & or unfortunately, "what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas"---it has infected the entire nation. SinCelery, Richard Canard

selective tax breeding!

About 72 cents of every state lottery dollar goes somewhere else. About 60 cents goes to the winner. Some goes to run the lottery. A piece of it goes to a private, Italian-based conglomerate that operates lotteries and slot machines in 50 countries around the world.

Depending on what state you live in, that leaves as little as 11 cents left to pay for the government services these games were created to help.

Critics argue that, aside from being an inefficient way to raise money, paying for government services with lottery sales also shifts a larger portion of the overall tax burden to those who can least afford it.

“It’s a very regressive tax,"
