I believe most Americans will clearly see the hypocrisy{spam link}and sham the government is, once again, trying to pull over its citizens. When every state but two have casinos and entire cities exist because of legalized gambling, then the average person would have to seriously question the motives of the government.
Naturally, it's all about money. And when it's about money, greed isn't too far behind. Online gambling is a 12 billion dollar business and it is likely that more money is being waged online in one day across the world than the combined total of Vegas in one year. The brick and mortar casinos, and government officials who profit off their campaign contributions, clearly want a piece of the action. They don't stand a chance of closing down online gambling just like they didn't really stand a chance establishing prohibition.
Stop the greed. Stop the madness.
