OP saying gambling disproportionately hurts poor people is like saying substance abuse disproportionately hurts poor people. It's a temporary escape to a lovely life and you're trying to treat a symptom rather than the actual problem.

I bet OP gets really mad when he sees a poor buying a bottle of coke from a vending machine. Ugh he just wasted a buck fifty on something that doesn't improve his life.

I have a hard time not associating the lotto with Elliot Rodgers after reading all those excerpts.

Does it really surprise anyone who has grown up and moved out of their parent's place that government programs that essentially force you to be responsible are beneficial for your average person? Even ignoring the efficiency of pool resources it makes a ton of sense why you would want to pressure or incentivize people to contribute to those kinds of programs, no one wants to think they're going to be the one that needs em but everyone is better off if they're available.
