There are pimps and there are pimps...which pimp do we tax?
Grassley's pimp tax proposal just casts a glaring spotlight on the corruption in Congress. I am not saying pimps are outstanding and upright citizens or defending these traffickers of human flesh in anyway. After huge tax cuts to the superrich, the government is short on revenue. Rs don't want to be seen raising taxes. So our illustrious adenoidal Senator Lawnmower knows that revenues need to be increased, and how does that crafty sucker think he can do this and still get a pat on the back for being a moral, small govt R-type guy? You pick on the most disgusting creatures among us--the lowly pimp. Meanwhile, back at that huge brothel we know as the Capital Building, the pimping continues unabated. Goes to show that not all pimps are equal.

1. Denigrate & tax
That's a game both sides play.

2. Run a quick GOOGLE on TAX GAP, it will tell you all you need to know
This is a win-win for the GOP; they appeal to the "family values" crowd AND get revenue to fund their lousy war....

Not that something like this shouldn't be done, but geez louise, the priorities on the Hill are seriously whacked.

4. is tony snow pimping for bush? if so, should he pay his regular taxes PLUS
his PIMPING TAXES?

i SUPPOSE pimping means whatever one's definition of pimping is, just like PERMANENT BASES depends on whatever one's definition of PERMANENT is, as the WH's newest pimp told HELEN THOMAS recently during one of the Q/A press conferences with snow the pimp.
