When California State Senator Roderick Wright attempted
to legalize online poker with SB 1463, he sold it as a way to help
patch up California?s busted budget , which is indeed in dire
trouble.
Yes, let?s legalize online poker, not because gambling, virtual
or physical, does not inflict direct harm on anyone, nor because
there is an sufficient rational argument as to how it poses a
threat to the general public. Let?s legalize online poker because
the government needs a few more cows to milk.
Everything for the state, nothing outside the state, nothing
against the state.
?There?s no way that we can do something that might be
the death knell for our industry,? says David Quintana, lobbyist
for the California Tribal Business Alliance, which opposes any form
of online poker legalization on the grounds that it could
negatively affect the economic activity of California?s Indian
tribes.
Mmmmmm, sweet, savory, delicious regulatory capture.
