Democrats in Sacramento lack nothing in chutzpah. Democratic Assemblyman Charles Calderon is proposing an 8% tax on sexually explicit nightclub acts, sexually explicit pay-per-view movies, X-rated acts in public locations, and sales of sex toys.
Forgetting the dubious constitutionality of the proposed legislation, it is unlikely to go anywhere in Sacramento. Assembly Republicans, according to the story in the Sacramento Bee, vow to kill any new tax increase. Given the 2/3 vote required for an increase, this measure will die.
It would be nice to see our legislators in Sacramento looking at killing various government programs, so that instead of increasing revenues to cover a budget shortfall, they would be decreasing expenses. But that idea is, I think, over the head of the Democrats in Sacramento.
