How About A National Lottery?

Here's my plan:

For every dollar in federal taxes paid, up to $50,000, you get one entry.

On, say, April 15 of the following year, the President draws the winning ticket.

The winner gets their very own Hawaiian island and a hundred million dollars.

Plus, the winner is exempt from all taxes of any sort for the rest of their lives.

You also get a license to kill.

Ex-boss who made your life a living hell? Bang: no problem.

Idiot with loud stereo in the car next to you? Bang.

Anoying street mime? Bang.

Mickey D's screwed up your food order? Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang....

Think of the social ramifications of that, alone. Bet you'd never get bothered by the press wanting pix of the lottery winner.
