Let's pretend that we're all grown-ups here and that we all understand this:
"It's a good issue to trot out. I can go to people and say I'm fighting ... porn," said Christopher Mooney, professor of political science at the University of Illinois at Springfield. "Who's going to argue with that? It looks good, doesn't it?"
NO politician is going to come out and say they're on our side. No democrat, no republican. When a politician wants to set up a straw man, we're it. Along with welfare mothers and trial lawyers. The good thing that could come out of a tax is that once we're taxed, we're NOT going to be outlawed. We'll become a source of revenue.
You can pretend that you really believe that we as pornographers are under the same threat from the Democrats as we are from the party that wants to censor Huckleberry Finn and make school prayer mandatory, but you DON'T really believe it, because you and everyone else on god's green earth knows it isn't true.
