Default Re: BarryG - Online Poker should be legal in 6 months

Been a while without really good "doom and gloom" posts on 2+2, so I kinda enjoy this "they will tax us to death so lets not support legal reform" show.

Ask yourself this: why should a professional poker player be treated any different tax-wise than any other professional? I pay taxes on the income I make off my profession, poker players should be no different.

And why would those evil dems make poker taxes any different from any other taxes (for players now, not talking sites)? Why dont they raise the tax rate to 50% on accountants and financial advisors (who mostly vote republican)?

Look, if we can get openly legal poker and get the fish back, no longer being able to avoid paying your taxes like the rest of the US is a small price to pay.
