Taxing Internet porn is crazy

Pornographers reduce the holy impulse for reproduction into the basest of lusts. And Rep. Jim Matheson (D-Utah) and Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Neb.) want a piece of that action for government coffers.

Taxing Internet pornography is the wrong way to go. It would give the feds a vested interest in protecting and promoting the very evil they rail against. The tax money would become as addictive as the smut itself.

Taxing Internet pornography is a very bad idea.
