Pole Tax

"Soon maybe other states will see this as a new source of income."

I would not doubt it. Might help.

I charge tax for my pole

Say it ain't so Joe, say it ain't so.

SlickSpic - Maybe you should watch the news more. :)

I'm wondering if California or some democrats know of anything that they don't want to tax.

You can't eliminate all Taxes.

A good example of where more money should be appropriated & spent is on National infrastructure.

It is a NATIONAL scandal that the overwhelming majority of bridges in this country are in dire need of fixing. How many more have to fall down???

related to the link shadowcat put up, several states have suggested that there is some link between rape and strip clubs. I think this might be an incredibly naive bus to jump on for legislators looking for a few more dollars in revenue. Of course piling on some more things for adult entertainment to deal with usually resonates well with the even more naive voters.

Sorry Shadow Cat, I don't watch the SACRAMENTO, CA news, as I live on the east coast. The article that I referenced in the posting was on a national website.

Most of the upscale clubs in Austin waive the fee for customers. The clubs just cover the cost themselves. But when it was first implemented a lot of daytime guys simply stopped going in. It was only three bucks but it caused a lot of resentment.

For most of the clubs here it really killed the daytime attendance.

In my simple mind I think that men having a venue (SCs; legal prostitution) to have their sexual needs met would decrease rape/sexual-assaults rather than increase them.
