Call it an un-cover charge.

A Brooklyn assemblyman introduced a bill yesterday that would require patrons to pay the state $10 every time they visit a strip club or topless joint.

Felix Ortiz, a Democrat, said the flesh fee could raise as much as $500 million for victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual abuse and child prostitution.

Uh oh, this started n Texas!

Texas Slaps a Tax on Strip Clubs

By AP/DAVID KOENIG Friday, Dec. 21, 2007

Texas Slaps a Tax on Strip Clubs and many other less-generously endowed performers, is about to make it more expensive to watch a little bump and grind.

Funny, but a few years ago I was at a club in Houston and the girls who paid a fee to register with the county and had their card on them could be totally topless.. but the ones that refused to do so had to wear these cheesy little pasties.....they called it nipple tax or titty tax....

the nude top ones made more tips...

but the others were more appreciative.... if'n you know what I mean...

Wait, why don't they just tax the perpetrators of human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual abuse and child prostitution? That's right, that's not the way we do business. Kind of like the $50 license for an unspayed male dog who is kept inside or on a leash to pay for other **** who let their dogs run loose around the city and multiply like wild.

I thought poll taxes were found to be unconstitutional YEARS ago.

8^

stupid folks who let thier dogs run loose , I've shot many of them that were running deer . the same goes for the ones that turn over and scatter trash . if mine get out and do the same I consider them fair game also . I don't just random shoot them , thats just for the cats.

I'm sure nashville has some kinda skin tax , I'd be suprised if they didn't . they even have this awesome 3 foot rule .

They should try that in the NBA.

Besides being unconstitutional, doesn't anyone find this a little hypocritical?

well this will only increase the amount of private activity and street walking. Sex sells and people are going to do what they are going to do. Taxing things too much can only lead to black market style trading so to speak.

"Felix Ortiz, a Democrat, said the flesh fee could raise as much as $500 million for victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual abuse and child prostitution."

Of course, this all assumes that the money actually makes it to the programs for which it is intended to fund.

That kind of money has a funny, funny way of being "redirected" elsewhere.

what horse****.......as if strippers had ANYTHING to do with those crimes.

How stupid.

Why not introduce a tax on screwing........the funds to go to those with STDs.

So how are all the Congressman and Senators going to pay the tax? Cash or bailout money ?

^ Dang. That's a GOOD question. I'll ask my Senator the next time I see him in "Cheerleaders".
