Alabama House Committee Passes Massive Porn Tax

Rather than fix a $200 million overspending problem before October 1, the Alabama House Ways and Means Committee has passed a 40 percent “porn tax” on the gross receipts from the sale, rental, or admission charges of pornographic material. This includes pornographic magazines, adult videos, and online adult rentals ...

Thing is if you say you didn't get any you look like a loser, and if you say you've been doing it like a viagra addict then you get to pay loads. So taxes or credibility? :-D I am sooooo evil today!

My ex father-in-law use to tease about his state having a "pole tax" that would tax per inch. He said it was the perfect tax because no man in his right mind would want to look lacking. So the tax was always paid at the higher rate. :doh:

He claimed to have to pay a luxury tax himself..... :think:

2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.

Then perhaps the Alabama House Ways and Means Committee should consider taxing the Alabama Congress... Oh wait! you said organized crime. My bad! :lol:
