Law adds $5 strip-club fee to prevent sex attacks | Chron.com - Houston Chronicle

The State of Texas is going to charge strip clubs $5 for every customer they serve.

"It would be up to the clubs to determine how much, if any, of the burden to pass on to the customers."

Can they just absorb it without passing it on to customers? I guess I'm in the wrong business. That means if a club has 150 customers a day they have to pay the state $750 a day in new taxes. All I can say is if you can absorb $285,000 per year - taken directly from your bottom line, then you're making so much money you should be taxed!
