If you want to see America's future, all you need to do is visit any
inner city convenience store that sells lottery tickets, right after
the first of the month. It's really quiet pathetic...

Exactly. And it is sad to say, but public (government) schools are
doing a fine job of insuring new generations will go forth with
limited understanding of the real power of economic freedom and
just how precious it is to maintain.

I have a public school education and you won't see me buying lottery
tickets, or participating in any other kinds of bad economic decisions.

Granted, I didn't learn anything until I got out of public high school.
