Yeah! Just read that. That's politicians for you. Just pulling dollar numbers out of their asses to empose new taxes on whatever they want! Taxes are suppose to be "reasonable" and not arbitrary!Originally posted by ISUSnet

WASHINGTON - A Democratic lawmaker is planning to propose a new 25 percent federal tax on Internet pornography and new requirements for adult Web sites to help prevent children from looking at them.

I really don't see how you can create a tax that applies only to a select industry. This has got to be un-constitutional....
I think at some point, people (adult industry) are going to realize that if they want to continue to do business in this industry, maybe the US is not the place to live......Comment

From the Yahoo article - last 2 paragraphs:
"Called the Internet Safety and Child Protection Act of 2005, the bill also proposes new rules for Web sites to verify they do business only with adults. It would compel sites to use specialized software to verify a customer's age, subject to enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission.
An FTC spokeswoman said the commission was not aware of the proposed bills."Comment

That might actually SAVE us some tax money... I'll have to run some numbers. A reduction in taxes for porn peddlers would be an ironic fuckup! Whats next, directly subsidizing us? Woo hoo!Originally posted by OedipusLast edited by SteveLightspeed; 07-23-2005, 12:40 AM.Abra-cadabra!Comment

I think maybe you took that the wrong way... What I was implying is that if the govt continues to target select industries, maybe people would be more inclined to go somewhere that doesn't constantly target that industry.Originally posted by Fetish
BTW, have you ever lived in a foreign country? There are a lot of other "great countries" on earth....Comment

I was just thinking that. Im not from the states, so I dont know, but 25% tax seems low to me. Id be more than happy to pay 25% taxOriginally posted by Lightspeed

It's not a tax on porn site owners. It's a sales tax on surfers. Instead of charging $30, you'd have to try and get $37.50 from them with the new porn sales tax figured in.Originally posted by AntonioComment

I figured THAT out a couple of years ago! As an American, I hate to travel to the US now. It's not that they treat others like shit. They treat EVERYONE like shit, who enters. I got one Customs Agent fired for being an asshole. If I won't take that shit from others, I sure as hell won't take it from my own people!Originally posted by marketsmartComment

If you live in the 'greatest country on earth' you don't have to worry about this, it only applies to those inside the US.Originally posted by Fetish
Also;
Money collected from the tax would be used for law enforcement and for protecting children from Internet-related crimes.
Why don't parents just do their god damned job once in a while and keep the kids off the internet on their own. Don't screw over the industry cause 90% of parents today are complete imbecils. I say tax the parents. If an underaged kid gets caught going to a porn site, fine the parents a couple $k and see how many parents start actually acting like parents on this matter.Comment

Well - since this is the same story that was posted a few days ago multiple times - here's the real answer - if they do approve a tax - they have just made the biz legitimate and can no longer try to shut all the sites down - and no lawmaker in his right mind is gonna vote internet porn legitimate.
Second - the CDA has been already shot down by the Supreme Court many times - which this is just a re-hash of - wont work this time either.
Third - These types of bills get introduced every session of congress and get shot down every session - so dont give it any more than its worth - which is nothingComment

It is unconstitutional to tax protected speech.

A copy of my email to Sen. Lincoln:
The simple fact you propose to tax protected speech by 25% is disgusting and anti-American. I know you are sucking up for votes for 2008 from a conservative Fundamentalist Facist racist populace of your former slave-owning state. Taxing free speech of any kind is like taxing me because I am Hispanic. It is completely subjective and prejudicial. Then again Senator, you are from the South... the land of slavery. Things haven't changed much - only the white robes and hoods are in the closet. Stop trying to control what people can see and let us responsible adult decide what is best for my children. See you at the next book burning!

In our system of government the Supreme Court has always been the determiner of what is within the Constitution and what is not. This has been determined by the Supreme Court to be within the constitution...thus it does not equal being unconstitutional.Originally posted by bringerWhen you're running down my country hoss...you're walking on the fighting side of me!
