Online poker could become revenue source

I see that the government has been working hard to shut down online poker sites because they operate outside of American tax laws ["FBI closes online poker sites," News, April 16].
Why not set these sites up so that taxes are paid to the United States? That way, the government could collect some revenue (probably quite a bit), and the people could continue to enjoy playing poker online.
