Sometimes I think those crazy wahibs who decry the west's decadence have a point.
Teen who auctioned her virginity for ??8,000 may lose half... because prostitutes in Germany are taxed at 50% of earnings
Long story short --
Teenaged romanian girl sells poon to 45 year italian business man via the miracle of the internet....german government steps in and plays the roll of pimp, taking a substantial cut out of the ho's pay.
If this was a Bible story, locusts and plagues and stuff would surely follow.

It also emerged that, because Alina earned so much in such a short time, she may even be liable for a hefty VAT bill too.
VAT in Germany works out to 19 per cent, meaning the sale of her virginity could land her with just over £3,000 in the end.

69% total tax?
I think the article calculated the VAT to be 19% of the after-prostitution-tax sum.

The government is one bad-ass pimp, ain't it? I gotta imagine that the typical working ho never gives up more than 20% to her pimp.

you aren't lying. (no double entendre intended)
All joking aside... evenif you place all views on whether the basic idea is terrible or not in theory... as it stands it is a pretty damn crappy system that chews up young women (and girls) and spits them out never to be the same again.
