Crime Bosses Would Have To Pay Taxes

February 12, 2008

How funny would it be to see the famous crime families of our day having to pay taxes on their activities? To be regulated and yes, legalized in their dealings? Well, if online gambling becomes legal that is exactly what would happen.

Organized crime has long had its hands in the cookie jar of gambling, and once it went to online gambling it only got worse. With it continuing to stay illegal and unregulated, the mafia has been able to slowly grow their empires while profiting off of yet another illegal business.

Take for example the Gambinos - a very famous and well known alleged crime syndicate � alleged mafia if you will. However, a Queens�s district attorney has revealed that they get part of their money from illegal online gambling. In fact, online gambling brought them in over $10 million over the last two years. They supposedly have proof of toll free lines registered to them that are used for online gambling sites and this is how they know.

So, with organized crime and others continuing to feed off of illegal online gambling, make it legal. Make those that make their living illegally have to make it legally. They are profiting from the online gambling industry and without it being legal and regulated they will continue to do so with all of their money in their pockets.

And it isn�t just them. There are lots of people out there that are running these illegal online gambling sites that are making millions off of their players. The government could be making billions off of the tons of sites out there dedicated to online casinos and gambling.
