Tax breaks for hookers
(Hey, don't complain to me. The Letterman show style guide says there has to be at least one reference to hookers in every top ten. (Or, one may substitute a reference to something that sounds dirty. E.g. Plenty of paper towels stocked in rest rooms, ready to sop up trickle down.))
