Should We Have a Sex Tax?

If we do, homosexuals will be exempt by the government because it would be considered a hate crime.

[Atlas Sneezed]

I support none of these ideas, but must share:

Tax birth control, with exemptions if you show a marriage license.

Tax children, unless both parents are in the house (5 year exemption when a parent dies). Do this by limiting children as tax exemptions to married filing jointly couples.

>>According to the Heritage Foundation, McManus writes, “13 million single parents with children cost taxpayers $20,000 each, or $260 billion in the year 2004.” The total probably comes to $300 billion today, McManus says.

Instead of a new tax, why don’t we, the taxpayers, just stop paying women for pumping out rugrats by the bushel? Problem solved.

[Sopater]

How about we just stop the Government paying to clean up after people.

Actually, I think that that is certainly the most sensible solution. Which is exactly why it will never happen.



Neither will a sex tax.

[billorites]

I suppose you could enjoy favorable tax treatment by having sex inside a Philip Roth IRA.

Your delight will compound tax free until after retirement when you begin to, ahem, withdraw.

[IamConservative]

What about homosexual sex? Certainly drives a lot of consumption of medical services and an adadictomy isn’t free either..

[Melas]

The joke here is that after a few years of marriage, married folks wouldn’t be paying much in sex tax anyway.

[dragonblustar]

They would have made a fortune off of the Kennedys.

[Scrambler Bob]

Aren’t you getting unwanted sex from them all the time, now?

Why do you want more?

[Melas]

Tax children, unless both parents are in the house (5 year exemption when a parent dies).

This just made me curious. Why five years? Is the child of a woman 7 years widowed somehow less deserving than the child of a woman 4 years widowed?

[publana]

Sin taxes are a sin. Period.

Should We Have a Sex Tax On Planned Parenthood?

[bunkerhill7]

Should We Have a Sex Tax on Junior & Senior Proms?

[Sopater]

If God hadn’t made it so much fun and feel so good, I doubt we’d have this problem. He must have known what He was doing and what the results would be.

He also said "Thou shalt not commit adultery" (Exodus 20:14). We just decided not to listen to Him.

Strange that you would blame God when people misuse His gifts. That's like blaming the gun makers when people commit murder, or blaming the alcohol manufacturers when people drive drunk and kill someone.

The more I see of you, the more convinced I am that you are on the wrong forum.

[JohnBrowdie]

argh. you know, if they establish a sex tax, it's just a matter of time before they think of a sex tax credit for having sex in whatever fashion the federal government deems preferable. say, in a prius with a member of your own sex while filling out a union membership card, burning an american flag, and wearing 10 condoms on your head.

[stuartcr]

I don’t blame God, I just believe He is ultimately responsible for all that happens. I believe He has a plan, and what happens, must be part of His plan.

[Atlas Sneezed]

Hey, in my loony schemes (that I said I don’t agree with) you have to pick a number.

Of course, the reason is to encourage remarriage.

(You may now un-knot your knickers).

[Jack of all Trades]

If the plan calls for something akin to the Earned Income Tax Credit for married Fathers, count me in.

Should We Have a Sex Tax?

I'd hit it.
