Today on Capital Hill a bill was passed that prevents  people from purchasing lottery tickets online.  Before today, people could simply go to their computer and purchase their lottery tickets.  Most of the lottery money feeds the state school systems. With this being said Capital Hill is now taking away from our children. Is this the right thing to do?  The government has  so many different things to worry about in today’s world, why is it they feel the need to take from the kids?

Banks have the job of trying to figure out which gambling sites are legal and which one’s are not.  The problem here is that the banks are not qualified to do this.  So the governments solution to this was to just cut all Internet gambling deposits out of the equation.  Unfortunately this is what is going to hurt the kids in the long run.  This bill might get overturned in the future, however, in the mean time our schools lose funding.  If you remember the Florida lottery was designed Solly to help with the financing of public schools.

Weeding out the illegal online gambling sites now becomes the job of the consumers.  The government agrees that the schools funding is worth protecting, however, we the consumer have to figure out where to put our money.  Another negative aspect of what has happened today in Capital Hill is the bank are going to be way more st-rick on who they accept money from.  In Las Vegas where gambling is legal will also be affected because the banks there as well have been affected by this vote as well. 

The bottom line is this, where are we as citizens of the United States going to draw the line as far as the government controlling what we do on a daily basis.  Are we ever going to stand up to the man..  Lets start here. Lets all write congress and tell them how we feel. This is outrageous, and we should not tolerate this. All these band aids we come up with for problems are going to some day fall off and then we will be in deeper then before.  One day we are going to wake up and we all will have a bar code on are foreheads.  Is that extreme? or is it Biblical? lol Have a great day.
