PORNOGRAPHY!
A Washington state representative was beaten back in February when he
suggested taxing pornographic materials to save programs that serve the
poor and disabled. A noble gesture indeed, which would have taxed adult
magazines, adult photographs, adult videos, adult phone services and a
few things even adults wouldn't want to talk about. The flesh lobby (and
the rep's fellow Democrats in the state house) stopped the bill in its
tracks, a rare win for anti-tax forces this season. The ACLU opposed the
bill, too, arguing that taxing pornography is a tax on free speech. So
what happens if you put it on mute?
