Senator seeks tax on pimps, prostitutes
Grassley: 'It's a no-brainer to have the IRS go after sex traffickers'
Wednesday, June 28, 2006; Posted: 9:40 a.m. EDT (13:40 GMT)
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Republican Sen. Charles Grassley of Iowa is hoping to stamp out the sex trade by taxing pimps and prostitutes, then jailing them when they don't pay.
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.
"Recent headlines have focused on sex trafficking in connection with the World Cup in Germany," Grassley said. "This vile crime is under our noses in the United States, and it's a no-brainer to have the IRS go after sex traffickers. Prosecuting these tax code violations can get these guys off the street and yank from their grasp the girls and women they exploit."
Grassley said the problem is "especially horrible" when underage girls are involved.
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."
Currently, the IRS has to prove a prostitute's or pimp's income to pursue a tax law violation. But under Grassley's proposal, a pimp could get up to 10 years in prison for each prostitute for whom the pimp hasn't filed a W-2, which means a pimp caught with 10 unregistered prostitutes faces a century in prison.
Carol Leigh, a representative of the Bay Area Sex Worker Advocacy Network in San Francisco, California, called the proposal short-sighted.
"Forced labor, kidnapping should be targeted. But this legislation broadly targets the sex trade in general, and could target your local strip club," Leigh said. "We want laws enforced against those who abuse us, against those who are violent, and enforcement of labor regulations. That is the only truly effective way to protect the welfare of the women who work in the industry."
CNN's Jonathan Schienberg contributed to this report.

So would they now have to claim that on their W-2s?

Yeah, I heard it on the radio this morning. So, the pimps have to register their ho's?
I thought pimpin' and prostitution are illegal? Or, is it only illegal when they don't pay the government.
They weren't lyin' when they said pimpin' ain't easy.

It has never occurred to them that making it legal would solve the same problem or is that what he is suggesting.
Since when does a pimp report anything to the IRS let alone the fact he is a pimp? I'm confused.
I thought Nevada was the only state with legalized prostitution in this country and guess what I hear it's a clean working environment.

Tax evasion is how a lot of big time drug dealers get busted. Funny how some people end up in multimillion $$$ homes rollin in Benzos but only report $20K/yr income.
Prostitution being illegal is about the dumbest law ever. Wanna get around it? Videotape it.

Because you'd be making a legitimate porn video where the prostitute is simply the 'actress' and the pimp is the 'director'.

One that nobody gets paid for....or it involves more men than women in one scene. yuck.

Of course. However, actors don't get paid until they get the part do they? Therefore, auditions are not paid.

NAW, but you must have a sandwich cart on site for it to be truly legit.
