Yeh....like the pimps are going to pay taxes.....

And it will remain a mostly cash business. If you put it on a card there's a paper trail for the wife, girlfriend, employer, cops etc. to follow.

Do it like marijuana. Start off with medical sex (with a doctors prescription) just like medical marijuana. If that works out okay then go to recreational.

And that would help Johns only.

I disagree with that.

If prostitution is kept illegal, and a John beats and rapes a woman who is a prostitute, she has no protection at all from the law. If she tries going to the police (or even calling for help while being assaulted,) she opens herself up to criminal charges, and unfortunately, many in law enforcement (and the public) see the assault as "something that she was asking for."

As long as they keep laws on the books that go after pimps and traffickers, a woman should have the option of making a bad choice, but in some cases, it's the only choice she may have.

I've just seen the current laws as being something that victimizes women twice, while protecting men who are predators.

They are wanting to legalize what they’ve been practicing for decades.

Disgusting.

We are surely living in the end times.

We are living in Babylon.

Generally they are getting income taxes from prostitutes who make high amounts of money pay taxes under other income in order to avoid being investigated for not having a visible means of support financing their lifestyle.

When I think Vermont I think of skiing and Trout fishing. Looks like I may have to adjust my thinking.

Politicians trying to legalize their existence. Legislators who want to get paid over the counter rather than under it.

The States have basically taken over all the rackets previously run by organized crime; gambling, drugs, and prostitution.

The Nevada prostitution model created a way for people like the late unlamented Dennis Hof to launder some of their money.

Most prostitution is still the illegal prostitution in Vegas and Reno.

Brothel prostitution is the worst of all worlds for the freelancer, so competent freelancers always work independently where they can charge more and screen their own clients.

It has been developed for thousands of years.
It has never been successfully regulated even by totalitarian regimes.

Vermont has trout fishing? It would be hard to beat Michigan for trout fishing.

As things are, she does have protection, she just has to turn herself in. Which will also get her free medical care.

Running a rape kit there will be DNA and even without injuries they can bust him for the prostitution.
So your first assertion is demonstrably false.

Johns are a critical Democrat voting block. Epstein didn’t kill himself.
