Lotteries aren't ran for profit by private out of state companies.

I think I understand what your comment meant.

So you don't think Vermont will collect any tax on those bets?

Instead of changing the subject, why don't you put your thinking cap on and try to figure out my very simple statement.

Yeah, your declarative statement that didn't actually say anything.

It also isn't changing the subject, the subject was taxes. My question was about taxes. I'm assuming you're not able to answer because you don't know how many of those taxes work.

Why don't you put your thinking cap on and try to answer my very simple question?

Poor attempt at pseudo-intellectualism.

Since you're a moron, of course there will be some taxes collected. Just like how there are taxes collected on everything. That most money will go to the for-profit gambling company out of state means that the state of Vermont will have a net negative cashflow by legalizing online sports betting. Since there's barely more than a half million people here and most of them are absurdly poor, it is not a good situation that what little money is here will be taken away. If you really want more tax money, you could make a very minor adjustment to already-extant taxes which would be less negatively impactful to the state than turning a lot of poor people into online gambling addict degenerates.
