I like that he has the ability to see the whole picture

For full transparency and my own agenda, I do not know any sex workers or sex buyers as far as I know. I believe that Swedish taxes should be lowered, but that all work should be taxed equally, regardless of the nature of the work.

In Sweden, it is forbidden to buy sex but not to sell it. Thanks to the internet, a lot of sex trafficking has moved from the street into different establishments. In addition, Sweden is one of the very few countries in the world where cash is hardly used anymore and is not even a valid means of payment in many restaurants and shops. This has led to many buyers choosing to pay for their sex purchase via Venmo, which is easy to track, despite the risk of getting caught.

A couple of weeks ago, the offspring and I watched a morning show together. One of the features was about sex workers getting their earnings inflated when the police raid these establishments and track all payments through Venmo.

The two guests in the feature were representatives from an organization that supports sex workers. They believe that the sex workers, in addition to being taken advantage of by the buyers, are also taken advantage of by the IRS who profit from their labor.

YMD sat quietly throughout the feature, only to question afterwards whether the two representatives were serious about their claim. He didn't really understand their thinking because he saw a big problem with who would judge which jobs would be tax-exempt and why.

The world's most perfect person does not like the idea that someone should base a decision on what the person in question feels and not on what applies according to Swedish law.
