I suppose it ...it is an interesting issue isn't it. I suppose it really comes down to whether to legalize it or not. because to pay taxes on something that is technically illegal to purchase just confuses me. but that being said... hell if they want to pay I doubt the government will turn down the tax money.Hairy Swedehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18041694218084956969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837418360328434663.post-9322357266750385412008-09-12T10:32:00.000-05:002008-09-12T10:32:00.000-05:00It's a funny what Sweden does to people. Enjoying ...It's a funny what Sweden does to people. Enjoying paying tax is one of them: me included. Good point there, with the "catch-22" I don't quite see a way around it either. Maybe they should make it legal for both parties, instead of pretending it doesn't exist. Prostitution became legal in New Zealand a few years back and seriously it took a turn for the better, than the worse (as many critics expected), it took the prostitutes off the streets into safer residences and it cleaned up really (according to the newspapers and also the decrease in the amount of tartly dressed women on the streets after 11pm).Anyway, that's not saying i think this occupation is right, but well, if people want to do it, they have the right to be safe (and maybe pay taxes) at least. <BR/>Anyway, nice post.

It was just so tempting to comment...<BR/><BR/>In Finland the prostitution law is pretty much the same as in Sweden. Now we're talking about the same issues in both countries. I think that, like in many cases, Finland is waiting for Sweden to do something and react based on that. Recently Sweden has done the same thing, e.g. with alcohol tax lowering. Which was a bit of disaster in Finland so they did nothing such in Sweden... That could a subject for another post, but let's face it, it's not THAT interesting.<BR/><BR/>Another good post from you still!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1837418360328434663.post-3452318800950994662008-09-11T02:00:00.000-05:002008-09-11T02:00:00.000-05:00You're so right!
