Thomas Spencer has the
lowdown on an innovative plan by Missouri legislators to raise sin taxes and:
Generat[e} $5 million by imposing a 5 percent tax on adult entertainment. The tax would apply to sales of sexually explicit material and services, such as live nude performances and actual or simulated sex acts....
The adult entertainment tax would apply to fees for bestiality, masturbation and sadistic or masochistic abuse. Sen. Sarah Steelman, a Rolla Republican, distributed a proposed amendment to add lap dances to the services that would be taxed.
At the sime time, presumably, the state slogan will be changed to: "I'm from Missouri. It'll cost you to show me."
