That prostitution got legalized in Germany in 2002 is outright false.
This legalization goes back ages.
Prostitutes are now organized, can have and can be represented by unions and are called sex workers.
Yes, they also pay taxes.
There was one case in Berlin where a waitress was out of a job and got advised to go fill one of these open and at the employment office registered bordello jobs.
When refusing, she was advised of the possibility to lose her unemployment benefits.
No further news as of the outcome, except some politicians talking about changing the new law that requires acceptance of all open jobs. Europeans also claim to have a lower sex crime rate than the U.S.A.

How are they taxed? By cubic inch displacement?
