[vpFREE] Re: gambling taxes

Don't try to find any sort of logic or efficiency within the IRS! I
won't even get into the fact that I'm paying full taxes as an
expatriate living abroad (since we can thank Congress for that) but
dealing with the IRS is a nightmare. The latest was 2 letters
(duplicate for my wife since we file jointly) mailed overseas to tell
us we still owe 40 cents on our 2005 taxes - which of course isn't even
correct! Good use of taxpayer dollars!

understand correctly the blackjack player can win millions and that
info is not sent to the IRS while slot players are turned in for
anything above $1199.99. I know life's not fair but that is a glaring
inconsistency, isn't it?
