If it is decriminalized, then it should be taxed. It isn't a church, or non-tax entity. Similar to the decriminalization of Mary Jane, collect taxes. Sin Taxes. Hell there is so much money being made in this arena, we could reduce the National Debt, by all the stuff YOU voted for, and all the Pols YOU try to convince other people are the right Pols to have in there, heck, why not ?

Are you anxious to pay a whole lot more, every time you see a provider, so that Our Glorious Supervisors can kick off a bunch more optional wars? Or maybe we clients can continue to pay the same, and let the goobermint squeeze the sex workers -- who, by the way, are very, very far from being wealthy -- for the same "worthy" ends?
In a sane world, the accumulated national debt would simply be repudiated. Yes, that would make it very hard for the government to be able to borrow money in the future ... this is a bad thing? A government that only does things the constitution specifically and explicitly authorizes would be very small, very cheap, and could easily be financed by very modest tariffs on imports, which is what the founders had in mind to start with. And decriminalization, as Elisabeth wrote, would simply mean that we'd go on doing exactly what we're doing now, except that no one, neither the sex worker nor her client, would have to fear arrest for simply making a voluntary sex-for-money, money-for-sex exchange. And to hell with the lawfakers and the rest of the apparatus of "government." To hell with them all.
