Porn Free
Looks like Stacey Campfield’s tax on masturbation is heading to committee:
This bill will tax porn and porn items (things you have to be over 18 years old to view or purchase),strip clubs and escort services. The tax would raise 50 million dollars and would be dedicated to allow the state to drop the sales tax on whole foods (Foods that are more healthy, fruits, vegetables, non processed meats and non processed canned goods,ect.) down to one percent in year one and down to zero in year two. The estimated drop in porn sales is only 3%.
I’m gonna go ahead and call the $50M bogus. Did someone do a porn study? A strip club study? Show me the numbers, man. Estimated drop of 3%? Want to bet?
And, you know, porn is free on Al Gore’s Internets.

It is a form of behavior tax.
“We don’t like what you are doing, so we will tax it higher. Want you to eat healthy, so we will tax it less.”
Everybody ‘baaa’ like sheep now.

If the tax is on “things you have to be 18 or older to view,” does that mean the tax would apply to R rated movies (17 and under not admitted without parent?)
‘300’ isn’t appropriate for kiddies, but it sure ain’t porn, either.

Wonder what how they’re going to treat the veggies/fruit that could serve a, hm, dual purpose.
