Apparently the Great State of Nevada has been trying to think of new ways to generate tax revenue in these hard economic times. One proposal to generate potentially $2,000,000 in additional revenue for the state is to charge a $5 prostitution tax. The brothel industry in Nevada apparently is in support of the measure. Of course, there were some detractors to the bill. One politician was quoted as saying the bill would be "...an act of legislative pimping." Interesting and innovative sin tax! The article below goes into much more detail. I don't know if it has gone to vote yet, but it certainly would help Nevada taxpayers.
