Erection Day

I hope everybody voted today, regardless of your how you decided to cast your ballot. One bit of advice to all the politicians inheriting the reins of our debt-ridden country - how about you legalize a legitimate Born-In-the-USA growth industry that millions of Americans enjoy anyway? Right now as I'm typing Full Tilt has 21,000 tables running as high as $200/$400. And the U.S. government isn't taxing any of it, because it's illegal. Legalize it and tax it. You might be able to fund AIG's Christmas party with the proceeds.

A bit of nuance: The U.S. government does tax individuals' poker winnings, and online poker is not illegal to play.

But none of the poker rooms are US companies because they are afraid of prosecution, right? The tax revenue would not be so much from player winnings (most players lose), but from house profits.

Right, absolutely.
