Texas courts uphold pole tax

$5 per patron. Court says: Tax was instituted “to address the adverse secondary effects of combining nude entertainment with alcohol consumption, both by discouraging the activity through higher taxation and by generating revenue for programs designed to address the social harms that result.”

Supposition: Patrons drinkin a whole lot while lookin at nekkid wimmin are likely to leave with an incorrect vision of wimmin folk and do bad things.

Here is a better idea: Ban the clubs. If a government has the power and authority to tax a thing, it has the power and authority to get rid of it altogether.
