Default Re: Regulating online poker and sites by \"taxing\" the rake?

"but I would assume the poker player would be ineligible for any normal deductions. "

If they are a professional gambler, that isn't true. The gross wins/gross deducted losses is only for casual gamblers.

"Why should the rich have to pay a higher percentage of their income? "

They can afford to do so, having more disposable income...and since they most likely didn't earn it all by themselves, I don't have a lot of sympathy.
