I wish they would leave our rights and freedom alone! I love the USA but some people just can't stand it when we're having a good time!

In my opinion, the biggest problem the government has against online gambling is that they are not getting a cut. Since the places we gamble at are primarily overseas, we do not pay taxes on our winnings and the casinos do not pay the US taxes on our losses (deposits).
I feel like I should be able to choose where I spend my money. I do gamble at land-based casinos in the US, however I still want freedom to choose to deposit $50 online and be able to enjoy the fun I get from playing slots without driving to a land-based casino.
It's annoying, and the way I see it, pure greed. We're already taxed on everything from socks to our houses and cars. We work...and have to pay taxes on what we earn. Then, the money we have leftover is used to make purchases: utilities, mortgages, car notes, toiletries, etc - which are all taxed. My kids go to public school, and where I live, the school taxes are very high. TAXES, TAXES, TAXES!!!
And, taxes is what the government is all bent out of shape about when it comes to online gambling! I'm just sick of it all.

Microsoft is agreeing to pay to educate us that online gaming is illegal??
Where does it say that? Does that also mean it is illegal to play games
such as Pogo, or a dozen other places you can play for $$$$
Could someone smarter than me, tell me where the law is that
I should know it is illegal !! I won't do it if it is not legal!!!
HELP
