    http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/ticket/s...170245980.html

    Rick perry signed new law that puts a $5.00 "pole" tax on all SC customers. Go to bottom of the linked page.

    This isn't political, this concerns SC customers and dancers.

    ^That's already been in effect for a few years. I'm pretty sure it was being fought as unconstitutional, however it has still been active.

    yeah OK then this must not be political either ... we'll soon find out !



    ^^^ I would LOVE to meet this clubowner !!!


    I would suspect, however, that merely including the name of a prominent political candidate in the thread title will be sufficient to make this thread political in nature.

    Why is it a necessary evil? How do other states manage to get by without it?

    Cover charges should be taxed, most clubs 9strip or dance or country doesnt matter) dont often pay it on cover charges.Just on sales. Cover charges are for the most part laundered and hidden.

    Im against excessive taxes but everyone should pay something.

    Hold on? How is this fair, Amy? I wasn't aware that regular nightclubs had their cover charges taxed $5 per customer. What other business is fined $5 just for having a customer walk through the door?

    The idea that everything must be taxed is disgusting. Clubs already pay plenty of taxes through drink sales, etc. As far as I know, they already paid taxes on the cover charge. Tacking on an excessive $5 per customer fine is nothing more than a moral superiority complex from the government, attempting to do social engineering by punishing behavior that some people find objectionable.

    You'd think I'd be used to it. They tack on extra taxes on all sorts of morally questionable behavior. Still doesn't make it justified.

    It's not a tax on cover charges. It's a tax on the customers. They have to pay whether there's a cover charge or not, and other clubs that aren't strip clubs, don't have to pay it. By making all customers pay a $5 tax, it means they have $5 less to spend on the dancers. If everyone should pay something, why not tax everyone? Why only tax stripclub customers?

    On the bright side it will help close a lot of the seedier clubs in Texas. Ther are bout 10 clubs Id like to see closed between El Paso and Dallas because they have bad owners and need cleaning up.

    Prostitution and extras run rampant in these clubs which creates exposure for clean girls and for customers looking for a goodtime and not a whore. I want to see more high end clubs and get rid of the bottom feeder owners, dancers and customers!

    You need the bottom feeder clubs too, hon. Seedy customers need someplace seedy to go. If those clubs close down, the shitty customers will migrate to the high end clubs and piss everyone off with their behavior. Not to mention, the extras girls will be looking for new clubs en masse. You can't screen everyone well enough to know if they'll be doing extras. The end result is just going to be that the trash will roll uphill and drag the rest of the industry down.

    Don't get me wrong. I've worked at some shitty clubs in Dallas that I wouldn't mind seeing shut down as a knee jerk reaction. On the other hand, even at the shitty clubs, there ARE some good people working mixed in with all the trash. The good ones don't deserve to lose their jobs just because they're working in a shit environment.

    No the bottom feeders cant afford to get into the high end places or buy drinks...

    I wish all clubs were like Rachel's in West Palm.. dirtbags and other lowlifes couldn't get in or afford to be there very long..

    I wish club owners would raise standards and cover charges! We need more Sapphire's and Rachel's and less dandy dan's and Lamplighter larry's

    I'm not talking about homeless people here. Even the high end clubs are still affordable if you are only going to nurse one drink and not tip or buy dances.

    I guess my point is; what's wrong with having a few seedy clubs to keep the seedy customers and girls away from the better places? As much as I dislike those clubs, they do serve their purpose. Saying that those clubs should be shut down just because they don't meet up to your moral standards for behavior is no better than Rick Perry trying to shut down YOUR club because it doesn't meet HIS moral standards. Live and let live, I say.

    I dont of that many customers at seedy clubs that can afford bottle service or VIP. I think this would help them go to denny's or somewhere. I dont discriminate once someone is in a club but sometimes I think the club should be more selective.

    ^ You obviously haven't worked at many top clubs all over the country. All the top clubs have a mix of customers, the customers are not all white collar. I've worked at probably around 20 really high end clubs from Dallas, Vegas, Chicago, manhattan and many more locations and all these clubs be it the lodge, the mens club, ricks cabaret they get low end losers in there too. Oh and shot gun willies that you speak so highly of is not high end nor does it get guys who would spend thousands on bottle service. Lol.

    I think its a fair balance. Pay a small tax to stay open. If its a profit center for the state then it will be left alone.

    Id like to see 10 of those dives in Dallas closed. It would help the clubs immensely.

    In Denver where I danced for about 9 months Id like to see Pt's, Nitro, Platinum 84, Players Club, Damdy Dan's not only close but g up in flames!

    West Palm Beach was cool. Las vegas is cool though I think they should have smaller locals clubs to get away from the tourists!

    Shotguns doesnt have bottle service but when I waitressed I made only slightly less than dancing! If you think guys don't spend money there you don't know it very well. It is the money club in Colorado other than the diamond which isnt my liking becaue it's too gownish. Shotguns is my 2nd favorite club after Rachel's.

    ^ I prefer diamonds. Like I said in the Denver thread I've had fiends who work here and my friend worked a shift there when she got fired from diamond and said it was so low end compared to diamond and she made less than half of what she made at diamond. Like I said everyone had there preferences and I saw what was going into shotguns and it definitely wasn't my type of clientele. Just because you like it and made money doesn't make it high end. Imean mons venus in tampa has the highest traffic and money but high end it is not.

    Keeping to the conservative focus on less government intervention, shouldn't the market be allowed to close the seedier clubs and not goverment or tax intervention?. Shouldn't the market determine how many high end clubs with clean dancers and customers who "don't want a whore" operate?.

    This is my problem with a lot of conservatives, they always clamor about "free market" and "no government intervention" and have absolutely no problem with those things when legislating morality against what they don't like. You don't like seedy club?, don't go. There are plenty of people who "choose" for whatever reason to own, work and frequent them. There are plenty of people who earn money and enjoy themselves in them. In a "free country" and a free market the idea that they should be closed because you or anyone else "doesn't like" them is ludicrous.

    Dunno why it would, this seems like 100% stripping related.
