U.S. Senate says No to banning interent gambling....for now!
Sen. Jon Kyl, I wish you years of unsuccessful attempts at passing this legislation. Only in America can the government be such hypocrites.
I am in one of the top tax brackets in this country and it pisses me off that my tax dollars and a Senator like Jon Kyl is willing to spend so much time and effort on a bill like this when we clearly should be spending out money on several bigger issues facing this country.
Internet gambling is not a national epidemic! It seems funny that Senators like Mr. Kyl are so against allowing people to wager money online but turn their eye at states who have no problem selling $20 scratch off lottery tickets to true degenerate gamblers.
If I had a dollar for every time I saw some degenerate in front of me at the gas station who drives a $500 car buying paying for gas and buying lottery tickets that they can't afford I would be a millionaire.
Internet gambling aside, lets take a look at how crooked the U.S. state lotteries are in terms of odds, taxes on winnings, and where that money really goes. Here is the article:
WASHINGTON, Sept 15 (Reuters) - The U.S. Senate on Thursday turned aside an attempt to restrict Internet gambling in a procedural move, but Sen. Jon Kyl vowed he would try again and said he expected the legislation would become law eventually.
The Arizona Republican tried to attach language restricting Internet gambling to an annual spending bill that must be passed this year, but an unnamed Democrat objected to attaching an unrelated matter to the spending measure under consideration.
Kyl said his legislation would require banks and credit card companies to block payments to online Internet gambling sites. He said some firms were already voluntarily blocking money transfers.
"We will proceed with this, it will become law at some point at some time," the Arizona Republican said on the Senate floor. "There should be no reason why we can't move forward on this."
Sen. Barbara Mikulski, a Maryland Democrat, said that a member of her party had objected to attaching Kyl's language to the spending bill but she was not sure who. Kyl urged the lawmaker to come forward so the concerns could be addressed.
The U.S. Justice Department has said the laws that prohibit interstate gambling apply to the Internet. But Americans have turned to offshore gambling Internet sites as an alternative.
The Senate and U.S. House of Representatives have passed similar legislation in the past but have been unable to reach agreement on a single, identical bill, Kyl said
