An Indecent Proposal....

[9th Engineer]

If you legalize prostitution then it becomes an acceptable form of employment. Now before everyone starts noding their heads and thinking about how wonderful that would be, remember that the government can squeeze that from more than one angle. One of the first that pops into my mind is the fact that now everyone capable of walking themselves to the local brothel could be considered to be turning down gainful employment if they did not do so. Might take a little tweaking, but since we seem to think that the government is just waiting for its chance to squeeze more money from us it's a short leap to say that they wouldn't take the chance to cut some expenses.
