More and more Swedish prostitutes want to pay taxes in order to receive the social welfare benefits that come with doing so.
“So far this year I’ve spoken with several women who want to make things right,†said Pia Blank Thörnroos, a legal expert with Sweden’s Tax Authority, to the Göteborgs-Posten (GP) newspaper.
While it remains against the law to purchase sex in Sweden, selling sex is perfectly legal according to Sweden’s unique prostitution law, which came into force in 1999.
Moreover, prostitution has been considered a business activity in Sweden since 1982 and as a result proceeds from the sale of sex subject to taxation just like any other form of income.

Can't buy it, has to be a impulse sale ???

It would make sense if what they get out of the social benefits was at least somewhat proportional to their input (a little-praised but legitimate attribute of Social Security), but I suspect that in militantly-Socialist Sweden that is not the case.

So....in Sweden, you have to PAY taxes to qualify for social welfare benefits......which means you have to work......
the DUmmies would not like Sweden.

Yes they would. You can pay minimal taxes and get 3X (or more) in social benefits.
These hookers know EXACTLY what they are requesting.
