Poker in the US

Poker is illegal in the US because the government is greedy and they can't tax it...I know thats not 100% accurate, but thats the way I view it. lmao

So why doesn't the US government make a US only poker site where they can take the rake instead? Then they can use that to pay off the national debt. >.> lol.

It not cause they are greedy its just another way for the Government to show the that they are in charge and can do what ever the hell they want to us.

online poker is illegal 'cos they are so far behind the technology to track users and then tax them. If you ever see the IRS get modernized there will be legalized sites outta Nevada and NJ in days.
