The other issues posted probably caused this one. Link to post Share on other sites

I went to do this and then ended up voting a couple of the options up. :)It won't matter in a couple hours, anyway. The poker one will blow by the others. Link to post Share on other sites
tbrick412 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 anyone think this will actually make a difference? I'm really not knowledgable on politcs etc. but wouldnt this extra tax revenue be great for the government right now if they were to tax online poker? I mean I realize its not a huge revenue, but its still something. Link to post Share on other sites

I mean I realize its not a huge revenue, but its still something. YesWhere else can the gov. gain new revenue? For one small sector it's a lot of untapped possible tax money.If the idea to legalize poker is framed as a new way to generate revenue in these tough economic times than the chances of something getting passed are greatly increased.

tbrick412 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Author Share Posted January 14, 2009 While I really want online poker to be legalized (I voted, btw), he has bigger fish to fry firstAgreed, but the economy is one of his big "fish to fry." Like Fluffdog said, any new way of pumping new revenue into the economy couldn't hurt one bit. Link to post Share on other sites

Chet Chetterson 0 Posted January 14, 2009 Share Posted January 14, 2009 Voted. I think any of those with high point values and that are written coherently will have a decent shot. There are a lot of nonsense ideas on this site, I wish some of these were grouped together, but that would take too much work I assume. Link to post Share on other sites
Balloon guy 158 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 So if this passes and online poker becomes 'legal'...How will the US government gain from this?No online company is going to move their operation to America where they would be taxed at 35% of profits, when they can stay on the Isle of Man and get taxed 10%Having a legal recourse just adds extra work for our court systems, not really going to profit the government for sueing UB for letting people cheat.It already is entitled to 37% of the income of any US citizen who brings the money into the US ( at least the real winners )So where is the profit at for the government?
