Fishback Proposes 50% OnlyFans Tax to Fund Teacher Pay and Men's Mental Health
In a bold policy announcement that has captured national attention, James Fishback proposed a 50% tax on all OnlyFans creator income earned in Florida. The estimated $200 million in annual revenue would fund: • Public school teacher pay raises • School lunch improvements • Crisis pregnancy centers • A first-of-its-kind Mental Health Czar for Men "If you are a so-called OnlyFans creator in Florida, you are going to pay 50% to the state on whatever you so-called earn via that online degeneracy platform," Fishback stated at a press conference in Tampa. "As Florida Governor, I will not let young, smart, and capable women be exploited by OnlyFans." The proposal represents a unique approach to both discouraging what Fishback calls "online degeneracy" while funding essential social programs that have been historically underfunded. The Mental Health Czar for Men would be the first position of its kind in any state government, addressing the crisis of male suicide, isolation, and untreated mental health conditions. "Boys and men are struggling," Fishback explained. "They're not getting the help they need. We're going to change that." Critics have questioned the constitutionality of the tax, noting that Florida's constitution prohibits personal income tax. Fishback's campaign has indicated they are exploring enforcement mechanisms through business licensing and platform regulation.
