Message: [QUOTE="zachvac, post: 1181979, member: 26306"] umm have you noticed the debt? If we need something we can't pay for we just borrow/print more. Also this doesn't make too much sense. The government has money coming in and money going out. It doesn't really matter what the money coming in is supposed to go to taxes on poker would just be under the revenue portion of the budget. And finally we do not want to legalize poker on the pretense that it is for tax/revenue reasons. What happens when an idiot puts in a provision to take a percentage out of every pot? Say hello to 20% uncapped rake. We want it legalized because it should be the choice of Americans to spend their money how they please. The revenue we gain from the people who are currently dodging the irs and not paying taxes is simply one extra benefit. [/QUOTE]
