Good points.

Neither party does, although I think it's Republicans , right?

The large majority of politicians are in it for the power. They will do anything to keep their power, including throwing all the principles out the window that got them elected. It's that way on both sides.

There is no such thing as working together for common good in Washington. Good things only get moving when average, middle-class people get off the butts and actively do something to make their voices heard.

Let's see now, talk about leaks, if they decriminalized marijuana and taxed it like cigarettes and alcohol.

The tax coffers would grow by the hundreds of millions.

The prisons would have tons of room for murderers, child molestors, rapists, violent gang members, rotten violent people etc..

Law enforcement could concentrate on murderers, child molestors, rapists, violent gang members, hard drugs, illegals, embezzellers, etc.

The courts would be freed up to concentrate on all of the a... [ More ]

Yes...they also know how to spend the taxes on all kinds of pork. (and they seem to have taught the Republicans who used to be in power how to do it also...which is why they are no longer in power

I sincerely hope you're correct. But I've never seen a politician that ever met a dollar he didn't want to spend. Add to that the fact that they are now pushing the limit on the people's backs with their massive and ever-increasing spending, and they are seriously on the lookout for each and everything they can tax. Our own governor wants legislation that will even tax e-cards on the Internet. They really go berzerker when they see something that isn't taxed. They can't stand the idea that th... [ More ]

Do those Democrats know how to do anything besides gripe and raise taxes

I think the intent is to tax and regulate the gambling operations of internet gambling, not the gamblers. I don't think they will mess with individuals and 1040 reporting. I would prefer that these internet wagering operations be on shore for some degree of recourse.

P.S. It has always been about the money, it is funny though that not many are reporting the huge deficit reduction that has occured over the past three years. Even spending like madmen it has come down so much, it may go surp... [ More ]

Here's what happened since UIGEA:

- Frist is gone, as is Leach

- Barney Frank (D-MA, Chairman of the Financial Services Committee) has publicly taken our side. He'll introduce legislation to repeal UIGEA.

- Ron Paul (R) specifically stating he'll support Barney Frank's efforts.

- Shelley Berkley (D-NV) and Jon Porter (R-NV) have proposed legislation to study legalized and regulated online gambling.

- The WTO ruled in favor of Antigua over the U.S. in the issue of the U.S. banning onl... [ More ]

What a bunch of garbage ! Originally, they pontificated about how their legislation was to protect people from financial ruin due to online gambling.

Now their true colors come out. All they really wanted was a big piece of the pie ! It's all about the money and how much of it they can get into their coffers to spend!

How much you want to bet (even though its illegal at the moment) that they will tax your winnings, but not allow you to deduct your losses

Support for Congressman Frank's bid to regulate online gambling in the USA grows

July has been a good month for Congressman Barney Frank, Chairman of the influential House Financial Services Committee and author of Bill HR 2046 the Internet Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act which proposes the regulation and taxation of Internet gambling in the United States instead of banning the pastime.

Five more Congressman have signed on to the Bill as sponsors, including Representatives Anthony... [ More ]
