Re: Who Pays Taxes on Poker Earnings? (POLL)

bad form.

Is it really that bad of form? Yes, I pay full taxes on my poker winnings just to preface, but it is unjust. 10 people each earn $100 at their job and pay 30% in taxes. Then they each take the $70 they have left to the poker tables. 5 people go bust and the other 5 make $50 each (with $100 total going to the house). That $250 is taxed another $75 and the house gets taxed $30. Then they pay their dealers who play the same games and get taxed again. The situation is unacceptable.
Who gives the state its power to tax? The people of course. Who can take it back? In fact, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.
Some people are just taking this opportunity to tell the government what they think.
