Ok. So lets say you are Latin American, but were born in the U.S. You are a citizen. A cop stops you because he 'suspects' you to be illegal (which is a whole other issue). You don't have papers on you because you are a citizen. Now you are detained because you can't prove you are here illegally. You just spent your day + possibly more trying to prove you are a citizen. So did you enjoy having your 4th amendment rights violated?

Currently each hand at an online poker room is raked between 2.5% and 7.5% (until you get to significantly higher stakes, where the majority of players don't play). so 8% isn't the oddest proposal. However, 8% is far too high, especially since the pokerroom will still need to rake the pot to make their own profit. What woudl work is either taxing deposits 5-8% or taxing each pot ~1%, maybe 2%. Anything over this will crush the online poker world into a point where the biggest rake generators won't play any more.
