There already *is* a tax on porn. It’s 7% statewide with an additional amount varying by county. You may have heard of it before. We call it the general sales tax. See, it’s called ‘general’ because it’s not specific. By not being specific, you don’t single out some groups of people to pay the share for other groups of people. You don’t like porn*, we get that. Since taxing things we don’t like so that we can shift the burden of government on to other people is apparently OK with you — I don’t like football. What say we have a special tax on Titans apparel & other football related items so that football fans can pay for my share of the government**? I’m also not a Christian, so how ’bout a new tax on Bible sales***?

* Snicker. Sure you don’t. We know thou aren’t just protesting too much.

** Actually, I could make the case for that. Football fans should be the only ones paying for that snazzy stadium y’all built.

*** Actually, you really want to find a new revenue stream to replace food taxes? How ’bout we start honoring the separation of church and state by making churches pay the same taxes the rest of us pay?
