Maybe i'm a bit jaded because I'm a Canadian looking at the problem from outside of the problem. Or maybe I'm saying it because I've worked in and with the industry for years. If the USA would embrace online gambling and tax and regulate it they would make a mint. The USA could be a complete powerhouse in the online gaming industry if they would raise a nice big middle finger to the religious right and say "fuck you".
Yeah. but that would mean the GOP would be giving the middle finger to it's largest core of supporters and they wouldn't be able to control your morals and habits like they want to.
