People have been making this argument for centuries and in some countries, it carries the day. However, because there is a strong moralistic bent to politics in this country that does not allow for the legitimacy of the commoditization of sex, it's never going to fly here.

Well, I think also that there's also the notion that the transaction is not necessarily on equal footing for all participants. I generally don't have a problem with sex workers getting legitimacy, but I do have a problem with the sexual and monetary explotation of women, men and children by third party brokers. For whatever it's worth, most women searching for weathly husbands go into the deal on their own terms and generally reap the rewards for themselves. That's not necessarily the case for most prostitutes.
