I do not see any way in which this tax would survive a constitutional challenge, if porn is free speech as has been determined then by definition it cannot be taxed, plain and simple.

The New York Tax Court says otherwise. Free Speech when it comes to Commercial Speech is subject to lesser protection with intermediate scrutiny It's not so plain and simple ... |

I've always thought Porn sites and Internet in general should be taxed at a lower rate, since there is little environmental impact or use of government resources like roads etc.

Because those conservatives/Republicans are not really in the "porn industry" to the same extent as porn producers. They are more into the "marketing industry". If they could monetize anti-porn endeavors, they would not hesitate. |

My comment isn't about taxation, just about the environmental impact and infrastructure/ resources required.

Don't turn this into a Dem/Rep debate. George Wallace was a racist and segregationist also a Democrat from Alabama.
This is an obvious use of an excise tax of a commercial product like tobacco or alcohol is taxed. They are trying to use the public menace reasoning like they use to tax tobacco or alcohol. The difference is that this is a ''sin'' tax via the Southern Baptist theology that prominent there. Where is the Free Speech Association? Lights are on and nobody is home. LMAO As far a resource use -- that has absolutely nothing to do with an excise tax. A ''sin'' tax really. Fuck Alabama. Alabama is nothing to my business anyway but if Alabama succeeds with this tax what is to stop more commercially important states to enact excise taxes on porn -- this law is written to include eCommerce as electronic transactions also. What mechanism they could try to collect their tax from businesses with no nexus (legal presence) in Alabama escapes me. |
