Just shooting from the hip here....

Lots of things could happen, including us being able to tell the government to fuck off because now they're getting an even bigger cut (we all pay taxes after all, so they're already getting the same cut of online porn that they get of everyone else's income).

Paysites might or might not charge more...I think the first thing to get hit would probably be affiliate payouts before the surfers got the short end of the stick. Then again, a nice big "this site cost 25% less before you fuckers elected a Texan retard" might help public relations.

In the end, it couldn't just be a tax on "online" pornography, it would have to be a tax on all porn. Then you have to have someone deciding what is porn and what is art. But before any of that would matter you'd have several years of battle in the courts before any tax like that could be enforced. Anyone had their 2257 docs inspected yet? Case in point.

This is yet another right wing propaganda campaign that will accomplish nothing but pissing off everyone that doesn't jerk off to the Bible.
