Do you play the Lottery? Don't tell your employer. [View all]

And for sure don't indicate any dollar amount you play or it will be deducted from your paycheck because your employer doesn't want to be involved in gambling on religious grounds. Subscribe to HBO or Netflix? Another payroll deduction, they won't want to be associated with "smut" entertainment for the same reason.

Just look at the way we're headed if you think it can't happen.
