From Utah Jim Mattheson (D-UTAH) Notice its not a Republican folks. DEMOCRAT! Wants to add a 25% tax and more of the age verification crap. Tried to cite that the largest percentage of of paying porn cutomers are age 12 to 17. WTF is this guy smoking? Another one trying to get the government to do the parenting. Ridiculous. Stuff like this pisses me off.

kenny · 12-15-2005, 04:44 PM

BTW, I've seen this very same thing on the news and that guy is serious as a heart attack about lobbying this thing as a "sin" tax just like cigarettes and alcohol

WASHINGTON(AP)- Senator Tom Carper is calling for a tax on all Internet pornography.

The Delaware Democrat is proposing a 25 percent tax on the purchase of pornographic material online.

The collected tax money would go to a fund to help police prosecute online child pornographers.

The provision is part of the Internet Safety and Child Protection Act.

In addition to the fund, the bill would require online pornographers to use age-verification software to block children's access.

Carper says the bill will keep kids away from X-rated material.

I'm guessing a US porn tax will only effect US citizens though.

tony286 · 12-15-2005, 05:12 PM

I like your attitude - I feel the same way. I can't figure out how porn gets tied into "sin"

kenny · 12-15-2005, 05:19 PM

If it was President Bush pushing this thing this thread would be 10 pages already

this is such major bullshit. I think that the parents need to take care of what thier children are doing.

bringer · 12-15-2005, 05:29 PM

tony286 · 12-15-2005, 05:32 PM

it may suck but the difference is the democrat is saying lets tax it not like the republicans lets throw them all in jail

Aric · 12-15-2005, 05:46 PM

They need a poor parenting tax.

I love how the government exploits children to push their agendas.

The democrats and republicans both have done their fare share of fucking with our industry.

Isolating one side and demonizing it isn't going to change itone way or the other.

There is no political party on our side - that is just how it is

Project-Shadow · 12-15-2005, 06:27 PM

Fucksakes, just tax all the churches 25% of all donations to fund their anti-cp shizer. It's all the priests I tells ya.

Matt 26z · 12-15-2005, 06:50 PM

That 12-17 figure was cited from a bullshit report. The people who wrote it didn't conduct their own research. They just cited other sources. One of which was a website belonging to an affiliate of a parental controls sponsor, and the bullshit claims he made in an attempt to get parents to buy it. Yes, he was actually cited as a source.

We can definitely conclude that the 12-17 number is incorrect because American traffic reports debunk it. If kids made up at least 50% of porn surfers, then we would see drastic drops in traffic during school hours and when they are in bed. This simply is not the case. Traffic patterns actually show that the vast majority can't be school students.

xmas13 · 12-15-2005, 06:53 PM

a silly tax to hire hundreds of lazy democrat bastards in a fucking association that will spend 80% of its budget in "operation expenses"

could also be a tax to seduce part of GOP electors

am sure the senator is a regular X rated website client

Matt 26z · 12-15-2005, 07:04 PM

This won't pass in the US for the same reason .xxx is being held up. It legitimatizes the industry.

You can't have obscenity prosecutions to shut sites down while at the same time depending on those same sites to generate tax dollars to fight CP. It just doesn't make sense, and the anti-adult porn people will always win. So this won't pass.

warlock5 · 12-15-2005, 07:14 PM
