The speaker uses a provocative question to criticize a political direction that appears ready to legalize socially sensitive activities. The position is strongly critical of prioritizing money (revenue) over moral or social considerations, using an ironic reference to the legalization of prostitution. The political framework is value-based and contrasts with a purely pragmatic approach.
