HELLO PEOPLE....
If Congress could TAX these Overseas based sights, they'd be giving them grants to ENCOURAGE the business!

I remember reading about one of these online operations offering to set up shop in one state and be taxed. Nothing ever came of it though. Guess they had to protect the state and indian operations.

If the websites are overseas, it is very possible (if not probable) that some of these sites are funding terrorism and the like. Fueling an underground organized crime black market economy through anonymous gambling websites seems a little stupid. Perhaps this is the impetus for the legislation.

That's exactly right. It's not about the poor downtrodden addicts...it's about the tax dollars. If it was about helping the addicts...they would ban all the others aspects of gambling...state lottos....casinos...etc. They don't like this because they don't get taxes from it.
Hypocrites. How our alterboy can't see that is beyond me.
