Supporting Michelle and Kathy Bates to legalize prostitution. There has to be a way to petition in favor for this new bill.  Icommented below on the issue as well so I wont repeat my self.

But Im appearing on radio shows, webshows and starting other efforts to legalize something that is not a criminal act.

Your nieghbor that leaves at 9am and returns at 5pm ... could it be that they are a drug dealer, thief, Gigalo, into BDSM ... do you really know?

If a male or female is a provider, Dominatrix, Gigalo,porn star, dancer what is the harm? Last I knew 21 was a legal age for consenting adults... even if you do not ethically agree with such a proffessions you really dont know who is or isnt. If they are not harming you or your comunity in anyway ... where is the crime?

Some food for thought...

Who are Michelle and Kathy Bates, and do you have a link to this story?  In which state is this petition being circulated?

the probability of some type of government involvement, regulation, maybe taxes, etc. Plus, I don't do petitions anyway.

I would have no problem signing a "nonanonymous" petition. I make no secret of my hobbying or my support for the legalization or decriminalization of it either.

I would put up with some regulation just to put an end to the LE Vice Gestapo.  How much tax money is spent on enforcement, and trials for paid sex by consenting adults.

Being illegal does not get you out of paying your taxes.  Anyone in the business needs to be declaring their income to the IRS, if they don't want a their property seized.  The government only has to prove you have undeclared income.

levied by the federal/state/local governments. These can also come in the form of increased "fees." Yes, ALL income is taxable, whether legal or otherwise.

The industry size is now very large.  That is lot of reason for legislators to gain political supports.

Besides, most legislators are hobbyists themselves -- just the hypocritical sentiments are in the way.

Isn't this a win-win resolution by all means?

I read not too long ago that the counties in Nevada where prositution is legal, beat back an attempt to levy a tax on prositution that was supported by the brothel industry.

It seems the brothel owners were concerned that the local population might get tired of allowing them to operate and change their laws.  The owners figured that by making the counties dependent on the brothel taxes, their existence could be better assured.

The counties, however, voted down the measure just for that reason.  They did not want to become dependent on the brothels for future tax income.

Talk about a topsy-turvy situation!

Even California is going to start taxing medicinal use marijuanna, but Nevada won't even touch a tax on sex.

I wnatto start a petition to support these ladies...

Natasha

It is a tender subject most people wont sign a petition to support them because it exposes them, but Im starting with the porn stars, high calibur courtesans who are already out in the open.

I wnat to support thier cause.

Natasha

Wonderful! I will call my attorney and have him do all the legal jumbo and have a petition on my site or on here ...where ever to follow through with this.

Thank you love!
Natasha

The point of legalizing it is yes you would have to obtain a biz licence, and a work card and pay taxes which I have done for years. Im trying to push thier cause so no individual tries to monopolize it like Vegas. Any provider should be able to work as an independent with all of the above which any biz should have anyway.

Thank you..

Natasha

This is true but what do you think the gals in the brothels pay in taxes?Medical cards, work cards and state biz lic required just to work? Its allot but it is worth it in the long run.

No worries of clients in a sting or the provider going to jail and possibly losing her home, property, children and just the humiliation of bieng arrested.

Thank you..

Natasha

Amen!

Thank you!We all know Judges, politicians and goverment agencies endulge yet they will not step up.

Very much a win win!

Natasha

The brothels actually do pay taxes and quite a large chunk but then so do the girls that work there that is why Nevada is more than happy to accomidate the girls that work in the brothels.

If California legalized escorting they would pull this state out of the  deficit in a heart beat.

Im all for it.

Natasha

The brothels monopolize the legalization of prostitution outside of a brothel it is illegal. I dont want to see California legalize it then make restrictions where girls have to work in a 'brothel' or for some guy and take half thier money. The girls should be independent and held accountable for license, medical clearance, taxes so we are not forced to be subjected to the brothel lifestyle. We all have lives, homes, other jobs, and family ...we dont need the hassle of having to go out of town to work, or in a house. We can manage our biz matters on our own quite efficiantly.

Natasha

Im working on it ... mking some progress starting radio show for discussions on this aspect sa well.

Thank you!
