STRIPPER TAX IS HARD TO 'BARE'

ALBANY - Call it an un-cover charge.

A Brooklyn assemblyman introduced a bill yesterday that would require patrons to pay the state $10 every time they visit a strip club or topless joint.

Felix Ortiz, a Democrat, said the flesh fee could raise as much as $500 million for victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual abuse and child prostitution.

[ConservativeStatement]

I can see the signs now: Felix the 'Rat.

[earlJam]

You think N.O.W. will complain that this tax unfairly targets men?

[ConservativeStatement]

[dblshot]

Seems fair that patrons of strip clubs should also have some skin in the game.

[shadeaud]

Being from Brooklyn, little ole felix better watch where he walks, he may step into some wet cement

[dblshot]

Is this a “pole tax”?

[SoldierDad]

So, if a tax of this kind is imposed then human sex trafficing will be okay?

[EGPWS]

Taxing the shirt right off of one's back.

When will it end?

[MeanWestTexan]

I thought pole taxes were declared unconstitutional.

[stockpirate]

Shouldn’t there be pictures of strippers in this post? :-)

[Enterprise]

I tawt I taw a titty tax.

[jessduntno]

Gee now I have to read the Post to stay abreast of developing situations?

[ConservativeStatement]

With this tax, all evil as described in the article will immediately cease. Similar to the philosophy that electing Obama will create world peace by January 20, 2009. /s

[Republic of Texas]

Genius.

[MeanWestTexan]

Unfair to electricians.

[MeanWestTexan]

[FreedomFerret]

hahaha- this won’t stop a single patron.

[TurtleUp]

That is one cute chick!

[The Electrician]

Felix Ortiz, a Democrat, said the flesh fee could raise as much as $500 million for victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual abuse and child prostitution

They could have raised that amount simply by taxing Eliot Spitzer's little perversions...

I'll start believing that Democrats are concerned about victims of human trafficking when they take concrete steps to tackle the flood of illegal immigration into the US (but I won't hold my breath)...

[MeanWestTexan]

Might stopped the married patron’s though. Don’t have any money.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

TAX ‘EM TWICE, FELIX

[FreedomFerret]

Ha! Point well made.

[dblshot]

I dwid, I dwid!

[earlJam]

We need to nip this in the butt.

[2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten]

The best part is you get to slip the tax, a dollar bill at a time, into David Paterson’s G string.

[JD91]

This post might end up winning the “double entendre” award of the century!

Don’t bet against me - you might loose your shirt!

[Never on my watch]

If it is patriotic to pay taxes...

Doesn't it follow that it is our patriotic duty...

Paging Joe Biden

[Enterprise]

Peg: Were you at the nudie bar again Al?

Al: Yes Peg. I was just doing my patriotic duty to pay taxes.

[beaversmom]

LOL :)

[Republic of Texas]

I must admit, since it’s inception, I have failed to help support the new $5 strip bar tax in Texas. I should remedy that soon.

[subterfuge]

Seems fair that patrons of strip clubs should also have some skin in the game.

Why is that? Do you pay an extra tax at a movie? How about a bowling tax? Are you in favor of that too?

[Enterprise]

You owe it to help victims of human trafficking. Get the hence to the nearest strip bar and PAY YOUR FAIR SHARE!

[Enterprise]

"Do you pay an extra tax at a movie? How about a bowling tax? Are you in favor of that too?"

Shhhhh. Don't give the Obammunists any ideas.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

"Hands off! This belongs to 'Uncle Sugar'!"

Hmm, I can just here the conversation at dinner...
WIFE: What are your plans tonight dear?
HUSBAND: Why I thought I would go out and help fight human trafficking.
WIFE:Well that's nice dear...

BWA HAA HA

Good idea. Let’s charge lobbyists $100,000 every time they enter a government office building to solicit legislative matters.

Former members of Congress retain access even when they become lobbyists. Which is why the “access” they have is so lucrative when they leave office.

[a fool in paradise]

“Al Bundy” endorsed Obama.

[NaughtiusMaximus]

OK, I’ll accept the stripshow tax but only if a $10.00 tax is placed on every container of granola or yogurt or any food produced for liberal consumption.

[sharkhawk]

Al Bundy

"Where there's a cop at the door and a Kennedy on the floor the nudie bar"

[OriginalChristian]

Hey, I eat granola.

[Enterprise]

LOL !!!

[Enterprise]

"“Al Bundy” endorsed Obama."

All those sock and shoe fumes got to him.

[ICE-FLYER]

I say do it. The scum in congress love porn and hate virtue. The least they can do is tax the heck out of porn. Then, maybe som emen would not cheat on their wives if they had to pay so much for it.

[Brytani]

Thanks for your post - my computer loves having coffee spewed all over it!!

Bhahahaha

[Brytani]

Hands off my yogurt (and tofu too) buddy!!!

Not only liberals eat it.......

[Republic of Texas]

If I can help fight this scourge and help the economy, then it’s almost a duty to go, isn’t it?

[Enterprise]

I am a secret agent for the Obama stimulus package. You have no idea how many FReepers have billed me for new keyboards and computer screens. I need a BAILOUT!

2009 Tax Code

The only thing that the IRS has not taxed yet is the male penis.

This is due to the fact that 69% of the time it is hanging around unemployed, 10% of the time it is hard up, 20% of the time it is pissed off and 1% of the time it is in the hole. On top of that, it has two dependents and they are both nuts!

HOWEVER, effective January 1st, 2009, the penis will now be taxed according to size:

The brackets are as follows:

10 - 12" Luxury Tax $ 300.00

8 - 10" Pole Tax $ 250.00

5 - 8" Privilege Tax $ 150.00

3 - 5" Nuisance Tax $ 30.00

Males exceeding 12" must file capital gains.

Anyone under 3" is eligible for a tax refund.

** PLEASE DO NOT ASK FOR AN EXTENSION **
