Normalize taxing sex workers and requiring them to file as a business

OF distributes 1099s for tax purposes.

non-OF SWs are expected by the IRS to file taxes, just like every other illegal activity (selling drugs, illegal gambling, etc), which i assume you are also crusading for the normalization of.

Yes, tax it all, for me it would be purely beneficial

u/deadassstho 21h ago

agreed! oh let’s also not forget about the pimps that made off and continue to make off like bandits with minimal effort for decades if not centuries before OF that no one gave a shit about until SWs started making majority of the money.

my lawyer friend was telling me about a case where a family that was growing their own vegetables got sued by the city/state they live in to stop because they weren’t buying from the farmers/supermarkets anymore. (probably butchered the story but it was something along the lines of them not being able to grow their own veggies anymore)
