About tax revenue. We like to think the more you make the more you pay. But using programs like these just turn the most vulnerable into revenue for the state -creating wild conflicts of interest. Additionally these types of revenues tend to replace other sources of funding rather than supplement. Like sports betting I know that lottery players skew low income - making the state effectively tax low income households at a higher rate.
