By the same logic, you could argue mcdonalds has a disproportionate effect on fat people. There'll always be gamblers. Maybe this way some good comes out of it.

- astine 18y agoThen you misunderstand the logic. Begin fat does not motivate one eat fast-food. Being poor does motivate someone to buy a lottery ticket. "There'll always be gamblers. Maybe this way some good comes out of it." "There'll always be suicidal people. Maybe if give them organ donor cards some good comes out of it." Sanctioning self destructive behavior for the sake of gain is tantamount to performing the act itself.

In fact you already said they could both be caused by other factors (poor money sense) and it didn't matter - poverty & ticket buying are correlated therefore that's hypocrisy. In the same way, some genetic factor could both make you fat & make you eat mcdonalds.
