New pole tax proposed in GA

Stand up against tyranny!


Quote
ATLANTA (AP) -- Georgia lawmakers plan to take the wraps off a proposed "pole tax" that would slap strip club patrons with a new fee.

It would be used to help offset steep state budget cuts to

programs for sex abuse victims. Those in the strip club industry say it would harm their business, already suffering in the difficult economy.

Lawmakers set to attend a news conference Thursday will also recommend raising the minimum age for exotic dancers in Georgia from 18 to 21. The proposals came from a study committee that looked last year at the growing problem of child prostitution in Georgia.

Texas imposed a similar strip club fee in 2008 that a judge declared unconstitutional. Georgia sponsors say they have addressed those concerns in the state bill.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

I'm okay with it as long as they base the tax on length. My pole wouldn't cost me but about .32 cents.

My doctor told me I needed to stop masturbating.  I asked him why, and he said, "because I'm trying to examine you."

Now I may be an idiot, but there is one thing I am not, sir, and that, sir, is an idiot.

I'm thinking if you combine this tax with the one that taxes tobacco products for the S-Chip, you can kill two birds with one stone and have the...
