Talking about Felix Ortiz, Brooklyn Assemblyman in the NY State Assembly. He wants to take patrons of strip clubs $10 a head.

Not right. Not Right. As I stated elsewhere:
"Ortiz's proposed legislation places a $10 per customer surcharge on "patrons of 'adult entertainment' establishments that serve food or drink along with nude or semi-nude dancing." If passed, the money would go to programs for victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual abuse and child prostitution, Ortiz said in a news release. "
This is what gets me about it. He is trying to justify his dumbass tax by preying on our desires to see an end to terrible human ills (which have no corrolation to strip clubs whatsoever). I'd have a lot more respect for him if he just said, "Ummm...fact is...state's broke. We're looking to justify a tax wherever we can. And we just didn't feel like kicking the cigarette smoker's in the balls AGAIN...so here ya go..."
Oh...this is making me so mad, I can't even continue to talk about it...

This is the same state that proposed an obesity tax justified by a public health benefit at the same time it proposed a tax on... gym memberships. The taxes were withdrawn only because of the arrival of stimulus money, not because they figured out the asinine nature of the contradiction.
