Message: [QUOTE="icemonkey9, post: 1049512, member: 32963"] The President's biggest concern is the economy. Bailouts and tax refunds are part of the economic plan for Obama but the money has to come from somewhere. Legalizing online games of skill gives an immediate revenue stream to draw from. Who's to say that the US Gvt doesnt outline something like: US Online Poker Gaming License Application - $25million Yearly Online License Fee - $5 million Tax 1% of all online player withdrawls Now lets say you can apply that to 5 online poker sites. You're looking at a ton of potential money here. The negative would certainly be increased rake from the sites but I am hoping that lower rake becomes a competitive selling point, but I am getting ahead of myself. Anyways, online poker DOES have to do with what the Obama team immediately has to solve, it's a possible major contributor to funds needed to help the economy. [/QUOTE]
