We were bad, we contributed $9.00 over the weekend to the Stupid People Tax, also know as the lottery. We just couldn't resist, the jackpot was over 200 million in South Carolina and Georgia, we just had to get some tickets. I'm not sure why you are compelled to play a 200 million lottery more than you are a million dollar lottery. I would love a million dollars, of course 200 million would be better.
It is the Stupid People Tax for two reasons. First the amount of people who spend way much than they can afford to spend on the lottery on a weekly basis. I've seen people buy $300/$400 on the lottery and they obviously couldn't afford to spend $5.00. The other reason it is the Stupid People Tax is because a huge percentage of people, more than 1 idiot, think it is their means of retirement. I'm quoting an article linked I read a good bit ago so the numbers are probably wrong, plus it was on the internet so who knows how acurate it was. Anyways if I remember correctly it was somewhere near 20% of people believe it is their best means of retirement, wtf.
Anyways, I hope we win :)

For a random chance at $300 million I paid my $1 dues to the Stupid People Tax today.
I thought it was more of a trailer trash tax than stupid people tax.
