NC Approves Bill To Raise Tax On Poor, Uneducated
The NC House approved a lottery bill by a vote of 62-58 today.
As a native North Carolinian, I think this is a sad commentary on the continued moral decline of our residents. Surely there is a better way to fund education than through state sponsored gambling.
What will happen in a few more years when there is another $1bn budget shortfall? Will we have government run crack houses and brothels?
Removing tax loopholes and providing incentives for new business development is a much better answer.
