Porn industry asking for $5 billion bailout

Okay, if the porn industry is getting a bailout, how about the home based business owners of America? I mean, come on! The porn industry? Larry Flynt (Hustler Magazine) and Joe Francis (Girls Gone Wild).

Don Lemon at CNN did some looking and he says that Flynt has had sales this past year in excess of $300 million, Francis had sales in excess of $100 million. He also cornered Francis on if the guy or Flynt had laid off anyone and got mostly stammers and a few "no"s in answer.

I think a case could be made for small home based businesses needing to have a bailout - particularly those who are at risk of losing their homes in the mortgage crisis. There would go not only a place to live, but a business. Double blow to the small business owner and home buyer.

So come on, Congress, bail out the people that really need it. Forget giving a $5 billion dollar bailout to the Porn industry, instead give say $100,000 to 50,000 home based business owners. I suggest that they have to be ones that have filed business taxes for at least a year to prevent a sudden flare of home based businesses, but I think if we gave a bailout to 50,000 home based business owners we would see a significant boost to the American economy. Don't you?
