[quote user="TheEngineer"]The legislation supported by PPA in Congress today opens the market to US-based sites, bringing more competition. It addresses the root cause of the AB/UB scandals with regulation and by creating a means of enforcement that we lack today.[/quote] I think you are referring to the Frank/Wexler Bills. I am referring to the 1 year extension. U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner has now received a petition from the PPA ‘interest group’ requesting an extension of

I vaguely remember one site or transfer agency if you cashed out over a certain amount they wanted to see 2 forms of id.

To me the extension seems to allow the cartel of Full Tilt, Pokerstars, and Absolute to continue as-is. According to my estimates over 80% of each dollar deposited to these sites gos to the sites, less than 20% is returned to the winning players. Furthermore we have had major scandals and no one has gone to jail. If we illegalize poker now, we will still have spadeclub.

They should all get a 50% pay cut. [quote user="darkpoker12"]Not only have you driven businesses out of our state[/quote] There are just as many businesses in the state as ever. We are like the 4th largest economy in the world. The problem is we are not taxing enough and spending that

Oh wait, wasn't it the state and local governments that denied the permits to build sufficient facilities to generate demand? [/quote] It was all a fraud. Free market generation would work. People must expect to pay a little more at the start. If anything

The Senate passed a $600 billion bill for for some type of health insurance program. This is addition to other programs. The cost per year in 2007 was about $7421 per resident. However the cost in most socialized health insurance countries is like $2500 per resident. In England the only place where the government owns the hospitals the costs are like $1700 per resident.

[quote user="HK_MP5N"]Or K can take his ass to another country since they have such a wonderful system (in his mind anyway[/quote] I like it here. Maybe if we tax Limbaugh at 80-90% like was done in the 1950s he would leave and we could get someone that contributes to society rather than the lazy republican party.

[quote user="Willywoo"]A better system would be to first, require everyone, and I mean everyone, to follow a strict government approved diet and exercise program[/quote] I think people should run their self-directed health care.
