	How true. Taxes just keep going up and up and up. I think there is
a very interesting one-to-one correspondence between taxes and lotteries.
The former were created during the war to help offset its cost. For some
reason they forgot to do away with taxes once war was over (I wonder why -:)).
With lotteries, they were supposedly a one time thing (to help pay for the
1976 Olympics). But these have also stuck around.
	The government will do ANYTHING to raise money. Especially if there
is no public outcry (for example, Lotteries).
