Prostitution should be legalized (Guderian)

I will attack his case then move to defend mine Contention I: " tax revenue which will help the government. " He says that by legalizing prostitution the government can come in and tax it which will help the economy. The reason this statement is false is because we have seen it done before and failed. German lawmakers thought they were going to get hundreds of millions of euros in tax revenue when they legalized prostitution and brothels in 2002. But keeping with criminal nature of prostitution, the newly redefined 'business owners' and 'freelance staff' in brothels will not pay up. Germany is suffering a budget deficit, and the Federal Audit Office estimates that the government has lost over two billion euros a year in unpaid tax revenue from the sex industry. Lawmakers started to look for ways to increase collection of taxes from prostitutes. Disgustingly, they expect to solve their economic problems, at least in part, off the backs of the some of the most abused and exploited women in the world. "It would provide low-skill people with a chance to work, and it will offer new business opportunity's for business owners. "-When the prostitution of women is accepted as a legally and socially accepted activity, it decreases any incentive for the government to develop real employment opportunities and educational and skills development projects for women - 'Oh, well, those poor women can always survive by giving themselves over to being prostituted' – and it begins a circular belief that they actually enjoy being prostituted, which leads to normalizing this human rights abuse…. on and on… with very little social analysis that links the prostitution of women with the current economic status of women or the social status with in patriarchal cultures. Con II: I dont see in any way how legalizing prostitution increases public health? Ok assuming that once it does become legalized it has standards but those standards would have to be enforced. And that in itself is a slim chance considering that most standards in regular companies are not. It is the Brothels best interest to have their employees clean but its not the best interest of the employee. As i said the prostitute does not care of the well being of the customer just money so he/she could easily corrupt the system. Also the customer could be infected with an std and not tell the employee therefore not increasing the public heath just declining it. Con III: "Firstly prostitution would itself no longer be a crime"-True " Secondly, the secondary crime that is common with proposition such as drugs, abuse and the like would be dramatically decreased with legalization"-False Do you know why prostitutes turn to drugs and alcohol and all of that alike? As i mentioned in my first contention being in this line of profession can cause many disorders. And being it in a legalized brothel or on the street if they have nothing to turn to that's the solution. So drugs and such will always be associated with that legalized or not His attack on first con "By legalizing Prostitution you are not bringing along the crime, corruption, or trafficking because there are know legitimate institutions. Employers hire their employees just like any other business and have interest in ensuring their continued health and productivity" False. Yes you are. Crime-being drugs, a "pimp" (lack of a better word) beating their "ho" Corruption-Sleeping with M. D. s to get clean bill of health. Human Trafficking-is basically in itself prostitution. ATK ON SEC CON: "This contention does not really prove anything. The same lazy student could simply try a life of crime or other "easy" jobs. Those who work hard and wish to succeed are always going to do better over over the pot-smoking lazy student who drops out. The drop-out may also turn to prostitution anyway- by legalizing it you are now better protecting that drop-out. " By legalizing it you giving the drop-out a new and easier way to drop-out without getting a wag of the finger. So if one sees another doing this action and society sees that that's ok and that that person sees that he/she doesn't need an education to gain lots of money in such a limited time and get away with it he/she will do it. Question: in what any since are you better protecting the drop-out my opponent doesn't seem to give any insight. ATK ON THRD CON: ": This contention merely assumes that the government would be the owner of the brothels. If the brothels were privately-owned the business owner would pay for the monthly check-ups as part of their operating costs and import that in the price of their product. In that way the spread of STD's is still countered without a lot of extra cost. " -What? Forgive me but WHAT?
