I know you are being facetious, but yes, a 5% tax to surfers in order to provide the adult industry with funds to fight against such legislation is much wiser and in the interest of the industry than giving up 25% to the government with nothing to expect in return but more regulations.
Other industries do this. They build the costs of their lobbying into their costs of goods. Union dues pay for lobbying and public education activities. As a $10 billion dollar industry with tens of millions (perhaps hundreds of millions of consumers) we can have some power if we learn how to weild and use it, instead of waiting for someone else to take up our fight.

The Republican's aren't going to let the Demo's outflank them on one of their hot button fundraising issues. Hell yeah, they are going to go for even more punitive measures and drastic action.
The writing is on the wall people, it's coming down to united we stand or divided we fall. I suggest that the people who consider themselves to be leaders in this industry step up and contribute to help organizing this industry so that we get left alone, and the elected officials decide to start working on solving social security, improving education, ending illiteracy, feeding and housing the homeless, etc.
