Default Re: Does professional poker contribute to society?

[ QUOTE ]
You can argue redistributing the wealth does.


Fish can either:

1) Lose money to other fish
2) Lose money to pros that withdraw
3) Lose money to rake

There is only 1 option where they can lose money where the money goes back to the government.

[/ QUOTE ]

the rake is taxed too, but why do you equate giving money to the government with contributing to society?
