said by fiberguy:said by sjr:The real reason that they are trying to block the sites is money. They cannot get any tax revenue from this and it has some impact on the state lotto as well, also the big lobby dollars coming from the Indian casino's who are impacted even more so by online sites.
Well, I have to agree with you. You live here, so you know.. the lottery here SUCKS! With all the money I've spend on scratchers, for example, I don't think I've won, collectively, $10.. not like other states I've played in.
MN makes a lot of money on their lottery.
This state also needs to learn how to start living on a budget, like the rest of the people have to. The dems are out on a MAJOR tax kick here looking to add taxes to anything and everything it can.
They want to tax clothes now, other 'necessities' that were once not taxed, AND, they want to remove the tax deduction on interest paid on home mortgages.. I suppose they believe the housing market is flourishing as is the economy.. ugh.
Dude, don't even go there about dems. In Idaho, EVERYTHING is taxed, including groceries, prescriptions, internet sales, EVERYTHING except investment property. And this is a total RED state. These guys, just like their greedy business buddies, don't give a rat's ass about regular working stiffs.
