???

what are you talking about?  the only tax that is imposed on records
in this country are sales taxes, and they are imposed by the states.
Some states have them, some don't.  the taxes go to general state
revenues, same as sales taxes on anything else that is taxed, which
also varies from state to state.

I'm not aware of any taxes that are forked over the sex n drugs n
rocknroll groups.
