At a time when the U.S. government is desperate to

generate

revenues, would it make sense for policymakers to

license,

regulate, and tax Internet gambling? Do the results

of the 2012 presidential election and the recent economic

crisis create the conditions for tapping this new revenue

source? Or, should concerns about the erosion of social

values

dominate the discussion of Internet gambling?
