All it would do is serve to make the arguments AGAINST porn legit. Porn *is* taxed via sales tax except on the internet -- if they want to change the structure of taxation on the internet for everyone, then fine. I wouldn't have a problem with a regular sales tax. But when people (democrats, no less) propose taxes of 25% on porn as though we are at fault for every sick sex crime that happens, going along with it doesn't legitimize our industry, it makes us sound like we're entering a "guilty" plea bargain.
