[ QUOTE ] it's grossly unfair to tax gambling winnings and not allow you to write off gambling losses against your tax bill. [/ QUOTE ] It's only really unfair for professional gamblers, and most pros shouldn't have losing years... [/ QUOTE ] I'm not based in the States and avoid travelling there except when compelled to do so by work, so don't have to deal with this nonsense, but if I choose to high card with a friend for 5 bucks, I should not have to pay the Government a cut of my winnings if I win. Of course, in some states, high carding with a friend would be illegal. Enjoy your freedom.

Re: Beat - The US Dollar
Yup, petrol is ten dollars per gallon in the UK. That's why we don't drive tanks to work (or SUVs, as I believe you guys call them).
It's about 10c per gallon in Venezuela. BTW, Virgin Poker offers £, $ and euros. Small site, but 99% fresh fish.

Re: Beat - The US Dollar
The latest spending proposal brings the total current fiscal year request for Iraq, Afghanistan and counterterrorism operations to $196.4 billion, by far the largest annual tally since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. If approved by Congress in its entirety, it would bring the total appropriated since then to more than $800 billion. At their current rate, war appropriations could reach $1 trillion by the time Bush leaves office, a total that by some measures would exceed the cost of the Korean and Vietnam wars combined.
taken from http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...102202144.html GG USA you could buy the entire continent of Africa with that money probably
