Lawmaker wants to tax porn users to help fund the border wall


A GOP lawmaker has a novel idea for how a border wall with Mexico should be funded: Force every Arizonan who wants to access pornographic material on an electronic device to pay $20.

Republican Rep. Gail Griffin, R-Hereford, has introduced House Bill 2444, which would make “distributors” of devices that allow access to the internet install software to make the offending material not viewable. To remove the blocking software, a person would have to pay the state $20.

Those distributors, which include both manufacturers and retailers, would also be able to impose their own fees for removing the blocker.

The bill proposed by Griffin is similar to other legislation proposed elsewhere, in that all computers and other devices that can access the internet, like tablets and mobile phones, sold in Arizona would have mandatory blocker software pre-installed.

Any distributor who fails to do so would be guilty of a class 1 misdemeanor.
