OnlyFans models need to do something more productive with their lives, a Florida gubernatorial candidate says … and he wants them to literally pay for their “sins.”<\/p>\n

We spoke to James Fishback<\/a> — a candidate running for governor of The Sunshine State — who is proposing a 50% tax on income brought in by OF stars living in the state.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"James<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Fishback says his proposed “Sin Tax” is meant to deter young women from selling their bodies online … which he says is something they’re compelled to do by society’s objectification of them — not as a choice.<\/p>\n

He specifically calls out Sophie Rain<\/a>, the popular content creator who rakes in millions of dollars per year in the state … saying he thinks she could be a nurse or teacher, or homemaker, instead of posing naked for money.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Sophie<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Fishback claims a corrupt system is at play, which puts Sophie on a pedestal and gives her few other options but to shake what the Good Lord gave her online. He adds this is a feature of modern society … arguing this type of exploitation wasn’t typical throughout the country’s pre-Internet history.<\/p>\n

As for possibly driving OnlyFans models out of the state … Fishback’s waving bon voyage — straight up saying he’d rather they get the heck out of Dodge if all they plan to do is “whore around in Downtown Miami.”<\/p>\n

BTW … Fishback plans to funnel “Sin Tax” income back into the school system — promising an increase in teacher salaries as well as state-funded school lunches.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"Sophie<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Worth noting … Fishback’s a controversial figure in the state. His company, Incubate Debate — which puts together debate tournaments and other events at the middle and high school level — had a working relationship with Broward County School District, which ended after he was accused <\/a>of having an inappropriate relationship with a minor.<\/p>\n

Fishback has denied the claims against him … and he’s also disputed ever working with the school district.<\/p>\n

Of course, we reached out to Sophie Rain as well … and she tells us James’ idea is the “dumbest thing I\u2019ve ever heard” — and she thinks it’s pretty sad he’s trying to manufacture a beef in order to generate campaign clout.<\/p>\n


\n \"OnlyFans<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The self-made OnlyFans millionaire usually stays out of politics … but she told us there was no way in hell she was going to let this one slide — noting that “conservatives are my top spenders” — so trying to take the moral\/political high-ground here is pretty “hypocritical.”<\/p>\n

SR tells us … “No one ever forced me to start an OnlyFans, it was MY decision, so I don\u2019t need a 31-year-old man telling me I can’t sell my body online. I am a Christian, God knows what I am doing, and I know he is happy with me; that’s the only validation I need.”<\/p>\n

Sophie thinks a whole lotta creators are going to leave the state if something like this passes … so expect an OF exodus if Fishback pulls off the W in this year’s election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Candidate for Florida Governor I’ll Tax OnlyFans ‘Whores’ Hard!!!
