Ahhhhh- It must be a Joke



It has to be, in fact I believe it to be! But the more comments I read, and there are 90, the more I just can't tell if it's true...

It's probably not real yet, but this article on behalf of the New York Times is moer than frightening! It turns me into a liberatarian for this particular issue. It's called the sex tax. It is the story of an enforced taxation on sexual activity for all American citizens. It is written as being a solution for rising prices in medical and health care for everything from pregnancy to blood tests screening for HIV. This article tells of a tax in which we file the number of sexual partners we have, and what kind of sexual activity we participate in!

The way it works is... Married couples pay more. They are more likely to not use contraceptives, and more likely to begin a family; thus a rise in the population. The second highest bracket is undeterminable to me from the article. It would either be heterosexuals with more partners (they produce the spawn out of wedlock ya know-ha! this is ridiculous), or it would be homosexual-male couples who apparently rank highest in HIV positive testing. Regardless of whatever....

The more I thought it was a joke the more I laughed, but then... there were 90 comments. Then I read them...ALL. I couldn't believe it! It may actually be true. I went to class, and a foreign exchange student spoke of seeing it on the news! It can't be! Alas read the article yoursef! SEX TAX
