ALBANY, N.Y. – You might call it a "pole tax." The New York legislator who brought the nation its first law against driving while using a cell phone is proposing a $10 tax for patrons of nude and seminude dance clubs and strip bars.
Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, a Bronx Democrat, says the revenue would go toward helping victims of human trafficking at a time when government budgets are being slashed.
The bill doesn't have a Senate sponsor yet. In Texas, state lawyers are fighting to preserve their $5 "pole tax," a cover charge on strip clubs, is being challenged by business owners. The Texas Legislature approved the fee in 2007, hoping to spend the money on sexual assault and health insurance programs, but a judge declared it unconstitutional. The state is appealing.
Have you ever noticed what the government decides to tax and what they don’t? No taxes on things like medicine, expensive ass cars, or mansions. No, they head for booze, cigarettes, alcohol, and strippers. I bet if prostitution was legal that would be taxed. Same for marijuana. Now, I don’t ever wanna use a hooker and I don’t smoke weed, but I always noticed what gets targeted for taxes.
To sit and say some shit like the money being taxed would go towards helping to battle human trafficking is ridiculous. Its like when they make any other bill and slap something onto it that will make sure it does not get passed.
“Okay, so how are we voting on the Save The Children Act?”
“Excuse me, but I’d like to add the Wife Must Let Me Ass Fuck Bill also!”
“Nay!!!”
I’m sure strippers are having a hard enough time right now without adding this $10 nonsense to their lives. This is just another way to subtly stick another screw and twist it into regular ass folks. Those Congress guys don’t use strippers. They have call girls. The don’t smoke plain ass cigarettes. The smoke Cuban cigars. They never have to worry about how much their cars cost.
How about instead of wasting time on taxing strippers we get to more important things? This is some crap that shouldn’t even be brought up right now. Get priorities in order!
