If this were truly a free society, people would be able to decide where and how they make their income. But instead, the wicked conservative right has legislated morality. I say let's put an end to it! End the prohibition on prostitution. Take the power out of the hands of the thugs and pimps. Give it back to the honest hard working men and women who give their hearts, soles, and crotches to this industry. It's a a pro-labor anthem even Karl Marx and Hilary Clinton would be proud of!
You talk about tax programs that steal from the rich and give to the poor? Well, we can tax prostitution just as we do gasoline, cigarettes, and horse racing. If we funnel those funds into school and community programs for America's impoverished...

Already done! Income earned from prostitution and other illegal activities is fully taxable. Many a career criminal has gone down due to tax evasion (Al Capone for example). The initial investigation into Heidi Fleiss was for non payment of income tax.
So, if anyone wants to pursue prostitution as a career choice remember you are more likely to avoid costly and career limiting legal problems if you pay tax on the income your earn.
