Pretty sure that's what most of our taxes do already, lol.

If that were the case, I wouldn't play the game. It would flat out be a bad investment.
I guess that's my whole confusion in the situation.
Lots of people complain about rake making games unbeatable, or its too high, yet they still continue to come back again and again and again. It just seems funny to complain about something that we have control over. Don't like the rake rates? Don't play.
However, it seems to be in people's nature to complain. If I were Stars and everyone was complaining about the rake being too high, yet I only ever saw my player pool increase, do you think I would change? Not a chance. You don't like the rake, go play somewhere else. That doesn't seem to happen enough, so no change will be made. You see entire PLO community leave stars, then you might see change. Until then, they will toss tiny changes every couple years just to keep people happy enough not to leave, without affecting their bottom line heavily.
That's why I tend to shrug my shoulders and move on. If you need to me to put my name on something in support of change, I'll do it, but I don't have a direct line to the people setting the rake, so I don't concern myself with it.
