Utah, like Mickey Mouse, hates strip clubs…

As if Utah could not get any worse…oh wait, it just did.  I was at the airport in Salt Lake City once, 9:15 p.m., could not get a drink anywhere!  I ask politely what the deal is, to an airport employee, and she tells me there is a place just across from the airport that I can get a beer.  I roll over there, because I have about 3 hours before my connecting flight, and as I walk in to this “bar” I realize they are shutting down, at 9:30.  This is the kind of state that you would expect to have, I don’t know, a tax on strip clubs or something outlandish…and they do.  This article upset me, deeply.

Utah has a special tax for everything strip club related.  That is just immoral in my eyes.  It is ironic too, don’t you think, for a state with the most polygamy practitioners to be taxing everything in and around the strip joint.  I just don’t get it.  It is bad enough that you need a search party to find some booze, now the strip clubs are becoming more expensive than a long weekend in Provo.  Utah needs to sit down and really think about the direction they are heading toward.  I want to go to the strip club, in any state, and find wall to wall nudity.  Beer should flow like the Mighty Mississippi and this erroneous tax should be wiped from the books. The strip club is a place for smiles that should never be too damaging on the ole wallet. Here Here!!
