Internet Porn Tax

Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-Ark.), certainly one of the very most anonymous members of the crew known as World's Greatest Deliberative Nobodies, may be on the verge of becoming well-known. For being an idiot.

Lincoln, sez the Los Angeles Times, is

planning to propose a new 25 percent federal tax on Internet pornography and new requirements for adult Web sites to help prevent children from looking at them.

The bill, expected to be introduced next week…would impose the excise tax on transactions with for-profit adult Web sites, which typically sell monthly subscriptions to Internet users to look at pornographic photographs or videos.

Whole thing here.
