I'd be ok with this if any tax increase had to be voted on in a referendum with a super majority of 70% voting for the tax increase and if anyone who wanted to participate in the lottery had to post 2 weeks of their average income for the last five years (with a floor at 2 weeks minimum wage) as a bond for the duration of the government and any deficits the government incurred came out of the posted bond first. It's unfortunate their justification for this is racist, ageist and anti-success though. It's easy to see how 300-400 randomly selected citizens would probably do a better job than career politicians at spending a given pot of money, they would just be much worse at deciding how big the pot of government money should be due to the preference to take from the successful and enrich oneself and one's group.
