EU is accusing US in violating WTO international free trading agreements by pushing European gambling houses out of US market. There is also another issue- freedom of choice that is one of the corner stones of US constitution.
If you remember the movie "People versus Larry Flynt" where in a court room Flyint's attorney addresses the jury saying: " I like the fact that I live in a country where I can chose to buy and read the Hustler magazine
or then throw in in the garbage if I think that's where it belongs!" " Freedom to make choices for ourselves as adults- that is a magnificent way to live and I wanna protect that freedom"
Now there was this guy called George Bush here in Austin ( man did he **** up everything for his country!). He's bureaucrats decided to make choices for us. Do you think that there is any hope that some day they will come to senses and change that law, legalize the online gambling and tax it? Many states have they budgets in deficit, they need money, and extra tax revenue. At the same time businesses running away from US markets like rats from the sinking ship. Lastly MB yesterday. Is there any ray of hope that it will change? That would bring in US based houses, stronger competition and billions of dollars in taxes to build roads, schools and hospitals. That would create the issue how to control and tax offshore gambling. Seems to me that they don't wanna deal with it so it is easier just to ban everything, make everything illegal and arrest everybody like in communist China!
Will that day come or do we have to wait for a senate with the democrat majority for that to happen?
