Thread: Adult Entertainment Tax. OUTRAGE!!!!

I don't have a link, but you guys are resourceful and can work "the google"


I was just sent a letter in the mail

"To the General Manager"

On July 17, 2007 the Governor signed into law Texas House Bil 1751. The law imposes a $5.00 entry fee on every customer for every visit to Adult Entertainment clubs to be sent to the state. This fee take effect On January 1, 2008."

I am a restaurant so this doesn't apply to my place at all. (some blooming idiot sent this letter to the wrong person)

But I am still pissed off. What is this bogus? I have never been in a strip club or anything like that but this looks like our beloved Government imposed a tax for the complete and total heck of it!!! I hold no special love for these clubs, but I respect their right to operate without unfair taxation.

What's next? A entry tax on Walmart, or Restaurants, or maybe Doctors?

Your thoughts?

Write an article in the local papers, or an ad, getting people to boycott. I love being married, my wife keeps me out of such places.

Government sin tax. What did you expect?

Pan, where you live?

It's outrageous. What is this country coming to? Ron Paul would never have allowed this to happen. I plan to boycott my local gentlemen's club and resort to renting porn videos instead.

I see the sarcasm, lol, but are you seriously upset about the tax?? or was that sarcasm too?

Ive never been to a strip cub, so it doesn't and wont affect me, but I still don't like this tax.

Sin taxes are of no concern to me. I live in Wiscosnin where the tax on a pack of cigarettes went up $1.00 on January 1st. I don't smoke so why should I care?

If someone wants to drink, smoke hang out in strip clubs or engage in some other unhealthy lifestyle I'm not too concerned about such activities being overly taxed.

It's a tax to stop people from being sinful. Not to imply the stereotype but sounds like a Christian Conservative to me
