Oh God, NO! That is what is wrong with our country today. "Let the government fix it for us!" Sorry, but most things the government touches turns to shit. The stuff they try to "fix" gets worse. The US government is why we're in this predicament to begin with.

I so agree!

no just allow it 100% USA poker

But what if I enjoy Isle of Man poker better?

Because the government isn't collecting taxes from it.

This. Right along with, Because they can.

If the government isn't collecting taxes on something, it becomes illegal, even if you were to sell home made cookies but didn't claim the income from them it would be a crime, therefore illegal.

So that's why kids don't run lemonade stands anymore. I blamed the xstations and playcubes.

answer to why

Too many people have their hands out wanting the money made from online poker,so nobody agrees,so its still up in the air.so the DoJ figured out a way to get their hands on some of the money.So we wait until something else happns.Its like everything else we do,Total Control and a total shame,Russia has more freedom than Americans.
