“the government plotted” …
:happydanc
I don’t think that the senate plotted to temporarily create a law.
I don’t think that the republican senators plotted to get removed from office in such numbers that it would hand power over to the democrats.
Bascially I don’t think that senators are altruistic enough or far-sighted enough to be prepared to play out a scenario that means they lose a fat-wallet public salary in order to boost Government taxes.
So this conspiracy theory doesn’t hold water to me.
:plain:
I think that Kyl and Frist genuinely wanted to put an end to online gambling by Americans because :
– they had received significant lobby money and back-handers
– they believed that it would boost their personal future election chances in their constituancies.
When you’re looking for conspiracies – you need to find the simpliest greed factors and personal gain motives … and then you’re usually right.
There is no shadowy secret council or overlord group manipulating the strings. They’re all just a greed bunch of #$@%&** #@$#$#$
