OLYMPIA, Wash. – It's enough to make you blush: Some politicians want a
bigger taste of the economy's naughty side, pushing for special taxes
on dirty magazines, racy movies, sex toys and strip clubs.

In Washington state, a half-dozen cash-strapped legislators recently
endorsed a huge sales tax increase on explicit movies, magazines and
other sex-themed products.

New York officials recently acknowledged that Gov. David Paterson's
proposed "iPod tax" on Internet downloads also would apply to online
porn purchases, along with tamer diversions such as pop music and
computer software.

And in Texas, state lawyers are fighting to preserve the "pole tax," a
$5 cover charge on strip clubs that's being challenged by business
owners.
