Paying taxes on Poker Winnings...

Al Capone went to jail for tax evasion, not rackateering, murder or anything else.
Plus the coffee houses in Amsterdam still have to pay taxes on it's "ggodies" they sell, but the official stance from the government is that it is illegal.
In illinois I saw on the news that our state governemnt actually has cigarette cellophanes with the illinois stamp and a pot leaf on it. If you sell only with these cellophanes, they cannot get you for tax evasion. (seriously this isnt a joke) Its just so that when they bust you they can get you on tax evasion, saying "he could have filed on that 20 pounds!"

State and Federal governments are far from perfect....or rational, fair, honest..ect. for that matter.
