Thought this would be Sylvia Tenney Allen until I noticed it was a state representative and not a state senator.

This calls for a "least popular politician ever" award.

I think this proposal is going to encounter some stiff resistance.

It’ll certainly be hard to ram through.

So, if porn is going to pay for it, some of those porn searches have to have the word Mexican in them right? So Trump was telling the truth all along, and Mexico will be paying for it in a way after all! #MAGA! #Notametaphor.

Will it be a flat tax, or will certain kinks charge premium rates?

Terrible idea. Vice taxes create a dependence on vice for revenue, which leads to government support for morally-decaying industries.

Look at the lottery: "We can't eliminate the lottery! It doesn't matter how many people it chains to poverty or how rotten its incentives are. How will we pay for schools without it?"

Now imagine this but with pornography.

This is still better than SoCons/RadFems who want to ban porn which would be a complete disaster.

I have to agree with this. Vice taxes are the low road to take.
