I don't think this is so much about taxes. Taxing something is a great way to reduce it. Yet another attack on the industry under the guise of protecting children. What Senator or Congressman can vote against such things? It's very difficult.
Fortunately, the system is greater than the sum of its parts. The Supreme Court has done a good job of knocking down such laws as CDA when the time came.

Yes the tax would be legal and hold up in the courts if it is passed, but the age verification portion is something the courts have struck down again and again, so if this were to be signed into law we would have injunctive relief from the courts very quickly.
