A tax on strip clubs that aided female victoms of violent crime and sexual abuse.
This is just another example of the new democrats!
meh...
I saw that one.
i am a Christian, and I am sorry but a "sin" tax?? WHOSE "sin"? we got Christians, catholic, muslims, buddhists, voodoo, mormon, jewish, hindus, rastafarians, scientologists, pagans, atheists, and a munge of others in the US.
"thou shalt not kill" MAYBE is the only universal "sin" in all of them (or some form of it).
I believe in what is right and wrong in my faith, but to make laws based on mine? anothers?
you want a "sin" law or tax make it on the buddhist thought of any creature is equal. that tiger in SF, the cops that killed it are convicted of murder. it's that simple. "sex" as a whole has different meanings, and "laws" across every culture in the world. you want to enforce 1 part of the worlds rules on all us Americans, then make it a rule that the lowest common denominator follows, otherwise you will have a mess...
oops you already do.
