I once watched a libertarian party debate (maybe 2012 election?) and one guy called the lottery a “tax on stupid people.” That really just shows how divorced from reality these people are.
Yet… Is it not accurate? Why does that make one disconnected? The chances of a win in the lottery are so miniscule that you are basically pissing away money.

I call it a “tax on ignorance” instead
A perfect example of libertarian thinking
