Who is ripping off whom?


Our Premier is upset at the Ontario Lottery Commission. They have been found to be using money for their own pleasure and wants. The Premier says that they are ripping off the taxpayers. I wonder if he is upset because they are honing in on the government's territory. After all the government set up the lottery commission and lotteries rip people off all the time. It seems strange to me that they can be so self-righteous about it but do not realise that they are guilty themselves. The government assumes that all taxpayers 'play the lottery' but there are many of us who do not and we believe that it is wrong. In light of the Ten Commandments how can a Christian consider that there is anything right in lotteries?
Now don't misunderstand me. Those who are abusing their position by scamming monies from the OLG should be punished as should all thieves.
