BREAKING: Republicans propose a "porn tax" to fund border wall
Republicans are getting desperate :1orglaugh BREAKING: Republicans propose a "porn tax" to fund border wall Here's a genius idea from the state of Arizona for how to end our nation’s border standoff and free the 800,000 federal hostages who are wondering how to pay next month’s rent. Just tax porn. No, really. Republican state Rep. Gail Griffin, R-Hereford, wants to charge you $20 to look at pornography on the internet. House Bill 2444 would require companies that make or sell electronic devices in Arizona to install software that blocks porn. To remove the block, all you’d have to do is prove you are 18 and plunk down $20, payable to the Arizona Commerce Authority. The money would go into a newly created account called the John McCain Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation Fund, with the proceeds to be used for one of 10 things. No. 1 on that list: “Build a border wall between Mexico and this state or fund border security.” Man linked to bill tried to marry his laptop According the Arizona Mirror’s Jerod MacDonald-Evoy, the bill appears to be linked to Chris Sevier, an anti-gay activist and one-time porn addict who has been behind similar legislation in other states. Sevier is an interesting sort. In 2013, he sued Apple, claiming that his MacBook was responsible for his porn addition. In 2017, he tried to marry his laptop and sued the state of Utah for not recognizing the marriage. But alas, his lawsuit was tossed out last year – maybe because it demanded that a Colorado baker make his electronic bride a wedding cake? In 2018, Sevier was ordered to stop using kidnapping victim Elizabeth Smart’s name on similar legislation in Rhode Island – much as the Arizona version of the bill is using McCain’s name. Griffin didn’t return a call to explain why in the world she has latched on to Sevier’s bizarre idea to trample the First Amendment. Then again, does Donald Trump know about Griffin's proposal? In a way, it makes sense, here on Day 28 of the partial government shutdown. After all, $20 here, $20 there and pretty soon you’re at $5.7 billion and federal employees can get back to work — or for those already working, be paid finally for their indentured servitude. This we call fighting an obscenity with obscenity. |
Why would they call this the "John McCain Human Trafficking and Child Exploitation Fund"? Seems to me like they are trying to latch onto the positive memories of John McCain....

How about we take churches tax exemption status away and we use those funds to build the border wall? |
The wall ain't happening, no matter how many laptops y'all want to marry and how much yall try to regulate porn.
Border needs regulation, not a useless wall. Illegals need laws enforced upon them, not legal assylum seekers. Step 1: learn the difference between illegal immigrants and LEGAL asylum seekers. Step 2: figure out how they both use different ways to get here. Step 3: |
Proof once again that Republicans are nutter crazy..

Start taxing the church and tv evangelists
