about a new ordinance in Houston taxing strip-clubs $5 per patron I
was floored. You can tax my booze, you can take away my 64 ounce
Pepsi but when you go after my real passion, it's going to get ugly.
Forget Obamacare, this has to be the greatest threat to a communist
overthrow of our society and i predict that it may very well drag us
back into the second dip of recession proving again that Houston is
the hotbed for the great threat of a socialist movement.

This is another example of a nanny state trying to take away rights
and in this case hurting an economy alive on QE easing.
I will always walk into a strip-club with a set amount of money they
will blow, I walk in with $200 and refuse to go back to the ATM, so
every dollar you take to fuel your big government utopia is one dollar
less which goes into the g-string of some hard working east European
immigrant. We are taking away money from working people to support a
tax-binging government but forget what it does now we all know that
this kind of cash income is the best thing for an ailing economy
because every dollar spent on a motor-boat can easily multiplied by
five.

Righetti puts a single in a g-string of a 20 year old, that chick will
undoubtedly spend it that night on blow or booze, the provider of
which will spend it at a diner, where the waitress will spend it on a
(20 ounce) soda at the bodega on her way home which the bodega owner
may use to pay his overnight help

But what really gets us is that try want to use the $5 tax to offset
costs of rape test. We are all for making sure rape-victims have
every afforded right and protection but tying it directly to something
as innocent and American as a strip-club is criminal.
