Taxing Sin

Nick Gillespie is the editor in chief of Reason magazine. In late May he wrote an article attempting to make the case that turning America into a Sin City would help President Obama pay for "his ambitious plans to overhaul health care, invest in green energy, and create gee-whiz trains that whisk through towns at speeds over 100 miles an hour."

His basic premise is that "all of these vices, involving billions of dollars and consenting adults, already take place. They just take place beyond the taxman's reach."

It is a very interesting article and well worth the read: Paying With Our Sin
