Bawney Fwank Gambling Bill Approved
Like this nitwit hasn’t gambled enough with our economy …
Wednesday’s delayed vote on Barney Frank’s HR2267 bill seeking to legalise online gambling in the United States proved to be worth the wait, with members of the House Financial Services Committee voting it forward by 41 to 22 in a bipartisan approach. The vote was taken after a number of amendments were accepted.
“My primary goal is Americans ought to be free to do what they wish without this kind of intrusion,” said Frank, referring to the UIGEA which was implemented on June 1 2010 to disrupt financial transactions with online gambling companies. “The intrusive regulation is a problem for the financial institutions,” he added.
Who does he think he’s kidding? They just want to start taxing it!
A separate measure authored by Rep. Jim McDermott that depends on the full House approval of Frank’s plan would impose taxes on online poker and other Internet gambling, bringing the federal government as much as $42 billion over 10 years, according to an independent congressional analysis.
This says it all about our representatives in Congress:
We have disabled pinging on this post. | Weasel ZippersOne California Democrat, Brad Sherman, said: “I have opposed this bill for years, but I am slowly changing. The best reason for this bill is the prospect for revenue.”

EXACTLY!! You nailed it.
One California Democrat, Brad Sherman, said: “I have opposed this bill for years, but I am slowly changing. The best reason for this bill is the prospect for revenue.”
No kidding. With a windfall like this you cretins can run some more debt up and base it on the expected income you will receive from on-line robbery.
i think banning online gambling is wrong does this make me worse than hitler?
oh wait your right they wanna tax it
Like Homer salivating while eyeing a plate of Krispy Kremes —Mmmm…doughnuts!
Hmmmm….TAXES!!! Hmmm….voter-purchasing slush funds!!
So, next up for careful congressional consideration: Hookers and the Heroin-hooked. Surely that’ll also be a potential Treasure Trove of election-buying goodies…
As ol’ Will Rogers once opined, “Congress, the best politicians money can buy!”
Oh great, now America can look like the areas surrounding Atlantic City and other cities where Gambling is legal (ie impoverished).
Chalk up a “W” for the Mafia.
“My primary goal is Americans ought to be free to do what they wish without this kind of intrusion”?!?!?!? Why doesn’t this same standard apply when it comes to Healthcare?
I wonder if they will have the cyber-Bawney Fwank Soup Kitchen so that when people exit the browser app for gambling, they can fill up on virtual “free” food? Yes, now internet gambling can have all the compassion of Al Capone!!
THE REAL REASON IS THAT IT WILL CREATE MORE ORGANIZED CRIME TO FUND COMMUNIST ACTIVITIES

I for one hope that internet poker becomes legal. The Government has no right to keep people from playing poker. Poker is as America as Apple Pie
