Write Your Own Punchline

I normally save things like this for Friday, but this is simply fascinating. I give you the pimp tax:
The Senate Finance Committee is expected to vote Wednesday morning on the pimp tax. The bill also calls for more jail time for sex workers.
If passed, the provision will authorize at least $2 million toward the establishment of an office in the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation unit to prosecute unlawful sex workers for violations of tax laws.

Asked if taxing sex workers would legitimize their trade, a Grassley spokesman said the goal was simply to find “yet another alternative to track the money flowing in this industry to get at potential criminals.”
Any questions?
