Could a National lottery be a solution?

by Toquay

My husband laughed at this idea... but what if we had a National lottery once a week whereas the winner would be exempt from future government taxes. One ticket per person at the cost of $1. US population 307,025,703 as of July 28th. Seeing a FL billboard bragging about 22 billion lottery dollars to the school system since its inception made me get to thinking. How many here would spend $1 a week at even the slightest chance to never pay taxes again. The governemnt would only lose 52 people a year that should be paying taxes.

Ok so I am a dreamer and like thinking of off the wall stuff but am curious how many think something like this could work?

This government would never be able to stomach the fact that 52 Americans were no longer being taxed. Unless they were cabinet members. Or Charlie Rangel...
