1. cause.... something was stopping you before? what is there to say... things are fucked up

still

raise taxes, take from corps, quit with subsidies, get out of the three wars, bring jobs home.

now you

2. are there jobs? because maybe they were avoiding that discussion for a reason.

how about if someone somehow can drape some sort of economic based issue in a scantily clad picture the press will talk about it.

3. Lets' tax the people who've made millions from porn!

How's that?

6. i'm sure they do get taxed. at least the ones making the porn. probably not

the distributors and the big top guys though.

9. I bet they're using the same offshore tax havens as a lot of other wealthy people and corporations.

If you want to use sex to get people's interest while doing some good, start talking about all of the porn money hiding from taxation in offshore tax havens. Get the moralists to start demanding that these tax havens be shut down or at least made more transparent. This would catch a lot more than porn millionaires.

12. i don't understand why people, i mean regular people don't get more mad about this crap.

i can see why congress don't get mad... they probably have money stashed over there! at least their campaign contributors do. but joe schmo in georgia who lives in a doublewide and has to pay his taxes seems just fine with the idea that the government is getting stiffed. i mean, does he not realize that HE is getting stiffed?

13. If you link it to porn, the media will cover it

and Joe Schmo will care about it.

Maybe we need to get cynical if we want to achieve anything.

4. I'd say the points you raised in THIS post get to the heart of this issue...

Let us know if you have more details.

8. YES! PLEASE! (n/t)

10. As Americans we need to look at the importa ..... ooooh shiny.
