Ponzi scheme. So true.

And while on the subject of rackets. What do the liberal state government legislatures do at their? They legalize one form of gambling -- state-run lotteries -- granting themselves a monopoly, and advertise among low-income people, who every Friday blow their paycheck on a one-in-a million chance to hit it big, getting back a few bucks here and there just to keep them playing.

Then the liberals -- both state and federal -- complain that low-income people don't make enough money to make ends meet.

If this these things aren't just as bad as the corner dope dealer who gives a few free samples away to get people hooked, I don't know what is.
