    Default California may tax PORN




    LOS ANGELES - California state lawmakers are considering an unusual idea to solve the state's huge budget shortfall: Tax pornography.

    The idea was proposed by a state assemblyman, and would impose a 25 percent tax on the production and sales of pornographic videos -- the vast majority of which are made in southern California.

    Let em tax it. I don't care. Why pay for porn when the Internet is littered with it anyway. It won't effect me. 25% of $0.00 is $0.00.
