Georgia House passes Strip Club Bill

Atlanta suburb
Another tax on strip clubs to benefit the victims of all the non existent sex trafficking.
ATLANTA — The Georgia House of Representatives passed a constitutional amendment charging strip clubs to provide services for victims of child sexual abuse.
Here’s how the bill works: the charge would be $5,000 or 1 percent of revenue on adult entertainment businesses, whichever is greater. It also would increase financial penalties on people convicted of certain crimes.
The funds will go toward services for victims of child trafficking.
Opponents say the proposal unfairly targets the clubs which may not contribute to the problem.
Lawmakers later approved a bill that gives victims more time to file civil lawsuits against people for damage following child sexual abuse. It also would prevent people younger than 18 from being found guilty of a sexual crime if they were coerced or deceived. Both measures return to the Senate for consideration.

I think a "bill" should be passed that takes a percentage of each politicians net worth for the shitty ass job they do.
Get your facts first, then distort them as you please.

Government involvement only ever means one thing = more government.
There *are* some organizations out there who exaggerate the problem in order to line their pockets. But to say that this means the problem doesn't exist is fucking insanity.
The amendment is very suspect to me. dont see why strip clubs were singled out to pay for "child abuse" fund. at least $5000 per club seem very steep. Easily $250000+ per year from the clubs for something unrelated to their business.
i have a feeling only about40 % of what they collecy goes to what they designate it for. The whole bill just screams corruption and government overstepping their boundary imo.
