FL-GOV: Florida Republican candidate suggests 'sin tax' for OnlyFans creators [View all]

TAMPA, Fla. (WFLA) — A Republican candidate vying to be Florida’s next governor has suggested imposing a 50 percent “sin tax” on OnlyFans incomes.

James Fishback, a hedge fund manager and gubernatorial hopeful, brought up the idea during an interview with Joel Webbon, the host of conservative podcast, NXR Studios.

According to People, Fishback suggested that all OnlyFans creators in Florida should pay 50 percent to the state on all earnings procured through the online platform. Fishback said the purpose of the tax would be to “disincentivize and deter a behavior,” while calling OnlyFans an “online degeneracy platform.”

“As Florida governor, I don’t want young women who could otherwise be mothers raising families, rearing children, I don’t want them to be selling their bodies to sick men online. And I don’t want young, impressionable men who have strayed from Christ, who have strayed from our Lord and Savior to be told, and to be drawn into lust, and have their entire brain rewired,” Fishback said on the podcast, per People.
