Every Jerk You Take

They haven’t been so bold to tax porn itself down here, but our legislators, during breaks between criticizing state universities for teaching about male prostitution and blowjobs, are taking a shine to the pole tax in the form of a per-entry fee for strip clubs. (Yes, they exist here despite the rabid Jeebusy masses.)

I’d much rather think about taxing drunken businessmen who’ve stumbled from the airport than I would ordinary folks who just need relief from the stresses of living in Southeast Fucktardistan. I think it should only be levied for out-of-state businessmen and state legislators who bloviate about family values until they get to evil, liberal Atlanta and go motorboat some titties or hook up on the M4M section of Craigslist.

If porn went “legit” ie taxed then a lot of wingnuts that would mean that certain varieties of porn would lose their appeal except for kiddie porn.

Taxing porn is silly. I have a better idea – since the fundies are largely to blame for the last 8 years, howz about a tax on those idiots? Every member of a megachurch should be dragged kicking and screaming from their pew and relieved of their cash (before the pastor takes it). I will volunteer to work on one of the beatdown teams.

And I’ve said it over and over – I am all in favor of billing two-time Bush voters for the mess they caused. Anyone could have predicted this outcome based on Bush’s biography.

This tax is pretty evenly distributed, actually – iPod tax for the liberal elite, and a porn tax for the Christian Right leaders who buy their porn in bulk.

And with 85 percent of IP addresses to a certain male porn site coming out of Vatican City, this might be the end of the Catholic Church as well.

@RomeGirl:
Seriously? There is a lot going under those robes that I don’t want to know about.

@RomeGirl: Like James Dobson said – he buys that porn for “research”.

If only we could tax stupidity. It would solve all our problems.

@Benedick: + Asshattery fees = WIN.

@Benedick:
FIXED. why i adore you.

Oregon is considering raising the tax on beer from less than 1 cent to 15 cents (it hasn’t been raised since the ’70s).

it pisses me off no end that the houses of worship, which i can barely say with a straight face, get off tax free. in a country that has clearly no actual separation of church and state. why? why? why?
just the porn going on in the catholic church would bring a windfall.

@baked: You complain about this, from Isreal? I mean, such as. Also.

@Prommie: They should have a tax on payess (long sideburn things) in Israel so the ultra-orthodox could carry their weight, for once.

@Prommie:
i am still a usamerican, such as.
israel does not pretend there is a separation of synogogue and state.

@Dodgerblue:
great idea. they creep me out, the hassidem.
they are israel’s equivalent to the fundies.

@Mistress Cynica: saw that on teevee during my visit. Don’t tax what I use to drown my sorrows any further.

Coincidentally, I thought for the longest time that George Harrison sang “and when I die, they’ll tax the panties on my eye” in Taxman.
