So who gets the extra money? The pretty lady covered in baby oil, or the politicians? 🤔

How does a tax stop human trafficking, exactly? That sounds more like the politicians want a cut, not that they want to stop the trafficking.

Somebody has to, or else the vast majority of it will go away. Yes, some people make it just for kicks, but the majority are making it for the money.

The last time I paid was in 1992 when I bought a magazine.

Free*0.50=Free so I assume things will be good still?
