An
interesting article on XBIZ takes up the issue of adult entertainment taxation, something that several state legislatures have considered and/or passed in recent years, and the question of whether such taxation would serve to "legitimize" the adult industry, or simply burden it with another impediment to making sales.
As Larry Walters points out in the article, the devil obviously would be in the details of such a proposal. For the sake of argument, though, set aside those undefined details, and let's say Congress came up with a constitutionally-sound law mandating a 10% adult entertainment tax that would cover a wide range of services and products (DVDs, subscription sites, VOD, sex toys, etc. etc.) -- would you be inclined to accept/support the idea, or would you want the industry to fight it, tooth and nail?
