There have to be limits on what the group can force individuals to do (or not do).

Agreed...

But the suggestion that this extends to paying taxes is laughable

Or if you prefer hot weather, I hear Greece is nice and they will gladly accept your taxes. They take my tax money too, and I don't even live there.

Former Senator D’Amato: Make online poker legal? It already is.

Quote

When I served in the U.S. Senate, some of my colleagues had a regular game, which was not unusual among members of Congress. Poker has long occupied legislators during the congressional calendar’s many late nights. In fact, it is said that when then-Vice President Harry Truman first heard that President Franklin Roosevelt had died, he was playing poker with House Speaker Sam Rayburn.

With so many poker players, you would never think that Congress would pass such ambiguous laws to regulate card-playing. Congress knows that poker is a game of skill. Congress knows that playing games of skill in American homes needn’t be outlawed. And Congress knows that, since poker is a game of skill that is legal in the home, it should be legal to play it online.

I wonder how many judges play poker? Quite a few I'd guess.
