Texas Doesn't Raise Taxes

Texas' state Lotto was supposed to fund education.  I never thought about it as a tax.  Certainly the local maquinitas do a lot to pump money into the coffers of city government.  Unfortunately our reps don't discuss how these places hurt the working class.  They want gambling legalized in TX so people will spend money here.  What they really mean is that this is the best way we know to raise taxes revenues.
