As we’ve learned sadly, it doesn’t take much to distract the public from the substance of a debate — just take a look at how many progressives still relate Mitt Romney to “binders full of women.” Mike Huckabee gave plenty of substantive answers at Thursday night’s debate, but it’s looking as though his legacy will be the #PimpTax hashtag.
Pimps, after all, are “freeloading off the system,” just like illegal immigrants, prostitutes and drug dealers.
Huckabee invents the pimp tax.

Huckabee with the rarely attempted "raise the pimp tax" platform!

I think #Huckabee really wanted to leave this #GOPDebate with a quote. #pimptax

I wonder how many "hookers and pimps don't pay taxes" one-issue voters there are out there.

Sorry, Mr Huckabee, it's hard out there to tax a pimp

Is the #PimpTax taking effect for the 2015 year or should I not start writing off some of these expenses? #GOPDebate

@ReformedBroker I want to hear more about this #pimptax. I'm already paying more than my fare share to these guys
