GOPers: Collect taxes from Pimps & Ho's


Well, besides the mythically urgent flag burning amendment, the GOP wants to push this: Collecting taxes from PIMPS and WHORES. Yeah. I'm serious: Sen Charles Grassley (R-IA) is hoping to stamp out the sex trade by taxing pimps and prostitutes, then jailing them when they don't pay. The Sen Finance Comm is expected to vote Weds morning on the pimp tax. The bill also calls for more jail time for sex workers (B/c really guys, jonesing crack whores practically giving away bj's for $2 don't have miserable enough lives, huh?) If passed, the provision will authorize at least $2 million toward the establishment of an office in the IRS Criminal Investigation unit to prosecute unlawful sex workers for violations of tax laws." Well, if the GOP wants to collect taxes from their hard work (and whores certainly work harder than any politician or any of the GOP's beloved Estate Tax pukes ever has, will, or could even dream of actually doing in their teeney-tiny uber-wealthy nirvana) then you had better damn well LEGALIZE their profession. That means a set living wage, healthcare benefits, protection from injury and exploitation, mandatory STD testing, and the option to unionize.
