Another case of overreaching bureaucracy

And just a stupid idea:

Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa is hoping to stamp out the sex trade by taxing pimps and prostitutes, then jailing them when they don’t pay.

The Senate Judiciary Committee Wednesday morning approved a bill sponsored by committee chairman Sen. Charles Grassley, R-Iowa, authorizing at least $2 million toward the establishment of an office in the IRS criminal investigation unit to prosecute unlawful sex workers for violations of tax laws.

Err, why not just go after them for tax evasion like everyone else? A special office for such is just fucking stupid.

    Here’s an idea: go fater them for PROSTITUTION which you ALREADY made illegal. Hell, if it were up to me, it would be legal, they would pay the same taxes as everyone else — and the pimps would be out of business (just like in the parts of Nevada where it is legal.)

  2. SayUncle Says:

    Don’t think hooking is illegal, federally. In Nevada, it’s legal.

  3. Manish Says:

    AFAIK, hooking is legal everywhere. If you made having sex for money illegal, there would be a lot of people who would get charged *cough* Anna Nicole Smith *cough*. Its solicitation which is illegal.

  4. Heartless Libertarian Says:

    This special unit wouldn’t be headquarted in Iowa by any chance, would it?

    And prostitution isn’t a federal crime, unless you’re crossing state lines to do it. It’s a state thing. That’s why you don’t have the FBI raiding the brothels of Nevada.

  5. anonymous Says:

    I’ve never understood why having sex for money in a porn movie is legal, but having sex for money in a motel room is illegal.

Remember, I do this to entertain me, not you.
