GAMBLING: NOT JUST FOR INDIANS
February 08, 2010
by VBS STAFF
Offshore gambling companies and poker websites rejoice! Pretty soon all your shady dealings will be legal thanks to the good people in the United States Congress. With the country still taking a huge reaming on the economic front and all that gambling revenue plump with wonderfully taxable dollars, how can the government resist legalizing and, of course, taking a massive chunk for itself?
Naturally, not everyone’s happy with the move. Both the National Football League, which apparently cannot make enough money, and Focus on the Family are afraid the push to legalize internet gambling will destroy the moral fabric of our society. You’re wondering how, but you shouldn’t. Obviously the new legislation will “encourage criminal activity, threaten children, and dramatically increase gambling addiction.” What is unknown: How it will work to unbalance your commitment to finding suitable pornography.

cacophobia: gambling addiction is a scary concept...I don't quite understand it, but that's probably a good thing.

ZacharyB: Couldn't you already do this? I don't know if it was legal or not, but I know friends of mine used to spend way too much time playing online poker for money.

TowJam: Of course Focus on the Family is against it. But they're also probably help astroturf the Tea Party "rallies" and bitching about the deficit. I don't get it. Where were all these moaners when Bush was in office spending more money than any president ever?
