Harry Reid: The time has come for Nevada to outlaw prostitution

[^_^ 5,021]

CARSON CITY — Sen. Harry Reid on Tuesday called ... prostitution in Nevada ... an impediment to economic development because it discourages businesses from moving here.

“Nevada needs to be known as the first place for innovation and investment – not as the last place where prostitution is still legal,” he said in a speech to the Nevada Legislature.

Reid told the assembled lawmakers that he met recently with a group of business leaders who run data centers for technology companies. They visited Storey County in search of a new location for their businesses but “one of the businessmen in that meeting told me he simply couldn’t believe that one of the biggest businesses in the county he was considering for his new home has legal prostitution.”

He said he has talked to families who “don’t want their children to look out of a school bus and see a brothel.”

"We should do everything we can to make sure the world holds Nevada in the same high regard you and I do," Reid continued. "If we want to attract business to Nevada that puts people back to work, the time has come for us to outlaw prostitution."

"If we want to attract business to Nevada that puts people back to work..."

While he's at it he might want to start enforcing immigration and work authorization laws that would put Americans back to work instead of illegal aliens. Then maybe these 'hos could find a job making an honest living on their feet instead of on their backs and knees.

Harry Reid is an clueless and corrupt azzhole.

Yeah, because outlawing prostitution has worked so incredibly well wherever it was done.

It's time for the US to legalize prostitution and smoking pot.

You got it. Think of all the money that the taxpayer would save if we were to stop pretending to enforce the unenforceable. People want to pay for STD's? Have them. Wanna ** up your brains and body? Go for it. Ain't my damn business.

I hold Nevada in high regard because they allow women the choice to be prostitutes without being criminals.

I would have wrongly guessed Reid to be pro-choice.

The last person to be making comments about enforcing laws and creating jobs for Americans is Harry Reid.

Harry must have gotten the clap-in-the-car and now hates all prostitutes.
