Which is worse: Taxing online porn or prosecuting it? - GoFuckYourself.com

webmaster x · 04-04-2004, 04:56 AM

Regardless of whether you believe the recent thread about a looming fed crackdown on adult (as opposed to CP) porn, the issue does come to mind that government can regulate an activity either through prosecutions or taxing.

Which is worse?

This is how government works--if you like an activity, you subsidize it. If you want to (implicitly) slow down or discourage an activity--you tax it.

I know, I know, some people would say that doesn't make any sense since the government taxes most economic activity. But therein lies the truth of the statement above... We'd have a bigger economy if the government just stayed the FUCK AWAY from taxing it.

How about rephrasing this question as "Which is worse: Being beaten and buttfucked every day for years in jail or paying taxes?"

prosecuting

I wouldn't be surprised if both happened.

Damn politicians and their assumption that you can actually LEGISLATE morality.

If the governement tax it, everything will simply move to europe and canada.

Obviously no one want's to be prosecuted or taxed! but believe me! if you had to choose! Taxes please!!! being prosecuted by the feds would be pure hell! obviously you need to be doing something wrong first! so keep everything clean! If you were to be prosecuted your assets would be frozen, you would need an expensive attorney, and the shit would go on for possibly years!

Bottom line! always keep within the laws, and monitor the laws daily!
