Republican gubernatorial candidate James Fishback announced plans to implement a 50% tax on income earned by OnlyFans creators in Florida, according to a report from NBC affiliate WTVJ.
Fishback unveiled the proposal during an interview on conservative podcast NXR Studios, hosted by Joel Webbon. “As governor of Florida, in my first year, I will push for the first tax of its kind – a 50% OnlyFans sin tax,” Fishback stated in the interview.
The candidate said creators in Florida “are going to pay 50% to the state on whatever you supposedly earn through that online degeneracy platform.”
Fishback estimated the tax could generate “hundreds of millions of dollars” in revenue if implemented. In a social media post, he shared an estimate of $200 million, which was also promoted by another account supporting his campaign.
Proposed Revenue Allocation
The candidate outlined three areas for the tax revenue allocation: education system funding, crisis pregnancy centers, and mental health initiatives.
“That money will be used to fund our education system, fund crisis pregnancy centers, and fund a first-of-its-kind mental-health czar, particularly focused on men,” Fishback said in the podcast interview.
He explained his terminology choice: “It is a sin, number one. But the purpose of a sin tax in economics is to disincentivize and deter a behavior.”
Creator Response
The proposal drew criticism from creators, including Sophie Rain, according to Complex.
Fishback directly addressed Rain on X, writing: “Pay up or quit OnlyFans. As Florida governor, I will not allow a generation of smart and capable young women to sell their bodies online.”
Rain responded on X: “Sounds like you subscribed and got buyer’s remorse after dropping your annual salary on an OF girl.”
Fishback followed up with another post claiming Rain would pay “the State of Florida $42 million in taxes, which I’ll proudly use to increase teacher pay and improve school lunches.”
Fishback is a first-time political candidate seeking the Florida governorship.
