State Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, a Brooklyn Democrat, is still pushing hard for a special tax on strip clubs, which he says would raise money to help victims of human trafficking. When Ortiz first proposed the tax last year, he also floated the idea of requiring strippers to purchase licenses before they could legally dance erotically. There’s no mention of licensing in today’s AP article, which reports only that Ortiz would like to levy a statewide, $10 tax on patrons of nude and seminude dance clubs and strip bars. Ortiz argues that the tax would generate plenty of desperately-needed dollar bills for sex trafficking victims at a time when there’s no money in the budget to assist them. The bill doesn’t have a Senate sponsor yet, but if it passes, strip club owners will probably just dodge the tax by moving their operations to bicycles.

This should help places like Hooters….where men can go to play out some silly fantasy that these young women are interested in them.  No lap dance!  A few more clothes but what the hell boobs are boobs….butts are butts…..maybe now younger men will learn to use their imagination a little more.  And there is NO cover charge….YET!
