The bill is an attempt to stop U.S. gamblers from spending "over $6 billion a year [at] illegal, untaxed sites," Goodlatte said on the House floor. He called Internet gambling a "cash cow" for offshore gambling businesses.

at least he was somewhat honest here. after all, he didn't say he was protecting the *children* from *terrorists* with this bill.

it *really* burns congress when a "cash cow" operates without paying its duty to their organization in the form of bribes... errr, contributions.
