    I guess you could also jail them when they do pay.

    Can you picture the conversation when a pimp asks his ho fill out a W-2? That’s not a joke, the article says:

    “…under Grassley’s proposal, a pimp could get up to 10 years in prison for each prostitute for whom the pimp hasn’t filed a W-2”

    Funny how lots of old school rap uses terms like pimpin’ and taxin’, and only know the old white guys in DC are catching up.

    While it sounds stupid, that’s how they got Capone.

    Yeah, the title of the story on NPR’s Marketplace last nite was “Al Capone meet Huggy Bear”.
