If I recall correctly, porn is a $5 BILLION dollar industry and 60-80%* of it is produced in California (mostly in the San Fernando Valley). That would mean eliminating a HUGE chunk of California's economy.

I didn't watch the video, but I will guess that the 25% rate would be on the SALE of porn. If so, it wouldn't have any impact on where the porn is produced, so it wouldn't negatively impact our economy.
