There's no way gambling is a legitimate or ethical function of government. How about government monopoly control over retail alcohol sales like in Pennsylvania? I'm not sure what the goal is other than just to make money being a high priced liquid drug distributor. People near the border drive to NJ to buy bottles in NJ for much lower prices.

I have nothing against vanity plates. I just don't want to pay for one myself. Some states have plates that take on a theme, like The Rocky Mountain Elk Foundation. They cost more and the money goes to the benefiting organization. I would rather have my money go directly to the foundation. State lotteries are what I call a voluntary tax, and I don't volunteer to pay it.
