This is legislative cynicism at it’s worst. The only reason the legislature believes that they can get away with a 25% tax on porn is that they believe there will be few who will publicly criticize them for trying.

Proposed Porn Tax in California:

“This bill would impose a tax on the sale of, or the storage, use, or other consumption of, tangible personal property that is adult material, as defined, in this state at a rate of 25%.”
