TX Attorney General
Stabbing Lottery Players
If you ever needed proof that our
elected officials only cared about
your money with no consumer
protection, this is it! The AG will
allow the TLC to sell deceptive
tickets, inflate prize amounts
causing you to pay higher
taxes, and allows the TLC
to not be transparent. To
just name a few things!

- Part 8 -
The Tax Break Shenanigans
of J. Winston Krause
In 2008, Commissioner Krause sued the
IRS to get a refund of interest and penalties
he had paid for a disallowed deduction
and income. The disallowed deduction ...
he bought Canadian dollars for $20K;
claimed he paid $2.8 million; he showed
a loss of <$2.7 million> yet he had
sold the Canadian dollars for $19.5K.
A 2010 5th Circuit of Appeals quote ...
"Krause's Tax Chicanery" A very
interesting and telling story about
the man who Chairs our Lottery.

He should know the value of

Can you imagine having the same set
of 5 or 6 numbers drawn in consecutive
