She is the producer, the manufacturer, if you will, of the content that she sells online and then distributes through the platform of OnlyFans.

Now, obviously, what Fishback is wanting to do is a new application of this type of law, but an excise tax on something like pornography, it does not seem totally out of left field considering

the other things that our government and different states do tax.

This is literally a practice and an idea that has been around since ancient Greece.

Rothels and independent prostitutes paid income tax, which was then used to fund public buildings, monuments, and repair roads.

Although initially it seems like they intended the tax for the building of temples to honor the gods, especially the patron deity of the city.

So all of this to say, I understand the concerns.

I understand the critiques.

In my frame of mind, I get it.

I definitely lean more small government and libertarian, but I also live in the real world.

I'm not going to clutch my pearls over something that we already do, that our federal government does, that our different states do, and that we have been doing as a civilization for thousands and thousands of years.

just tack it on to all of the other things that we get taxed on every single day.

And maybe somebody would reply to this and say, you know, Brett, this is a lazy response, but like, it just seems realistic.

And sometimes you have to be realistic.

And I also think that I think about it like I think about other forms of income tax.

If you really want to avoid paying income tax, move to Tennessee, move to Nevada, move to states where you will not be taxed on your income.

Like if you want to not be taxed on your OnlyFans income,

under Fishback as governor, leave Florida or do not become an OnlyFans creator.

We all have choices in where we can live, what we can do in order to optimize our income.

You are not exempt from that.
