I have been following this closely . It's designed to stop people from using credit cards or other ways of ELECTRONIC money transfers .
Online gambling is illiegal in the USA , but the feeling has been the Govt. has better things to do than to mess with grandma and her bag of quarters . apparently not . guess Osama has been caught and Iraq is stable and I didn't see the news that night.
Other countrys laugh at our laws on this. England legalized it and has made a few bucks on taxes. Hell the site owners want it legal , they would have no problems paying taxes as their buisness would grow. just another way for Uncle Sam to shoot himself in the foot , reload and shoot the other foot.
I have zero problem if the law passes , ( its cleared the house , in senate now) ( last I saw )
I use western union , the money is sent to a person in either Nicaragua or Malta. I get a check in the mail from the site . its a way around it and the govt. can't do a damn thing about it.
ps-int. gambling illiegal- notice how the comercials always say " come and play for FREE " ?
its cause they can't advertise the gambling part.
pps- think about how much uncle sam lost in the time it took me to type this , there are 65,000 on my site alone.
I know, I'm surprised instead of trying to shut it down they didn't just tax the hell out of it like they do everything else.
A while back when Spam Emails were the big issue of the day their "brilliant" idea was to start taxing emails a penny a peice, making it less profitable for the spammers.
YEAH, THAT'S IT! MAKE US ALL PAY FOR A FEW IDIOTS!
I don't understand how these Senators and Representatives actually make a career at this. Some have been voted back in for 30 years running. Seems to me people aren't paying attention or the turnover rate would be A LOT higher.
You shouldn't have the edge you do just because you're the incumbant. All that indicates is that America is too lazy to vote on issues.
