Should prostitution be legal?

I have a friend who makes porn videos for a niche kink. Not because he needs the money but because he’s an exhibitionist who enjoys the attention. (He’s got a well paying day job.). His videos are on a site similar to onlyfans. Every year the site sends him a 1099 and he dutifully pays his taxes on the income.

Throw off your chains and seize the means of production!

Apparently you've seen his videos!

Just filed my taxes and properly reported the relevant income. Ka-ching, even with covid. Thank goodness I had some offsetting paper losses elsewhere, or Alan might not have had to pay for my healthcare again :-)

I see the Administration is proposing to tax unrealized gains at 20%. You would basically be hit with an estate tax without going to the trouble of dying.

The “Billionaires’ Minimum Income Tax” would kick in at $100 million of however the government reckons net worth (guess that sounded better than “the Decibillionaires Tax”). Of course, at the current rate of inflation, and with some creative valuation we may soon see a significant increase in unacceptably wealthy citizens needing to be shorn of their “fair share”.
