I am for it as long as it does what it's supposed to do . But they can't garrentee that it goes to the schools then I'm totally against it . I think everything should go and help the schools as long as the funds are spent appropriately. And not wasted away .

Max DeYoung

Would you like to see some ocean front property here in Missouri? The schools won't see diddly. But, I agree with your intent. Please vote No on 2.

I remember when the lottery was the end all of end alls for school financing. And look, our schools are worse than ever. It is not going to take any more people or money to improve the educational system. It's going to take massive reform, starting at the federal level

Fat Guy Outdoors

This has nothing to do with schools, if you don't believe it whatever happened to the lottery money? Wasn't it supposed to fix everything.

Mother Of Cats

When the lottery finally got to us, we were promised fantastic roads and schools! Well?? We've had the lottery for a very long time, yet we still have failing roads and schools! Shouldn't have taken this long...where's the $$?? I don't believe the schools will see a dime!

Sports betting app companies now control all professional sports outcomes.

The referees are determining the winners. The NFL has become a giant money laundering system. There is nothing there for me anymore, but I have a lot more time with my lovely wife, and our friends.

Roger Goodell gets paid $64 million dollars a year to ruin the game.

The Chief's biggest mistake was signing Taylor Swift. That's when it all went South, and now the team is moving West.

Not since the Great Depression has wealth inequality in the US been so acute, Top 0.1% now worth as much as the bottom 90%. Prior to Reagan and trickle-down economics in the mid-80's, the bottom 90% held over 35% and the top 0.1% about 10%. And yet, the wealthiest among us still want more!

Max

It will always be that way, because most people make bad choices.

Fred

Forgot one important fact ... Reagan and trickle-down economics also put us on the path to huge budget deficits and financial ruin.

This data is from 12 years ago, but it is only WORSE now. https://www.theguardian.com/business/2014/nov/13/us-wealth-inequality-top-01-worth-as-much-as-the-bottom-90

Nothing the Democrats have done of offered has ever helped the majority of the people. Obamacare caused my healthcare to skyrocket and quality to plummet. Democratic scandals, such as those seen in Minnesota with the Somalians, far too common. It's past time to support out President.

Fred

Prior to the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies routinely denied coverage for pre-existing conditions. How exactly does that reduce the quality of coverage?

Fred

Right ... other than the 19th Amendment, Social Security, GI Bill, Medicare, Medicaid, Securities and Exchange Act, Rural Electrification Act, unemployment benefits, Voting Rights Act, Head Start & student loans, Republicans? Tax cuts for corporations & the wealthy.

I say fire every Politian. I have not seen one yet that knows what they are doing. They are only for themself and not for the people of the State.

Toasty

If the revenue isn't replaced (along with cuts) with a flat/consumption/fair tax, then it's a waste of time. When it comes to spending money, republicans can waste it as much as the democrats.

Fred

It would probably be replaced by higher regressive sales tax rates.
