A US government trying to prevent "Regular Joe" from becoming rich would have an infinite number of better ways to do so. Not running lotteries, for example. Or regulating the health care market to bring doctors' and lawyers' salaries down to European levels. Or taxing income in the 6-digit range at the rates of comparable countries. Or taxing investment returns at levels comparable to incomes. But there really isn't even a theory of why "regular Joe" striking it rich is in any way threatening to the status quo, is there?
