Some people are meant to be judges, others are not.

There was a law passed in Texas that stated that strip clubs had to charge $5 per person and this was dubbed a "pole tax". The money collected was to go to sexual assault prevention programs and health care for the uninsured.

A Judge has declared this tax unconstitutional because is violates the First Amendment.

Can anyone explain how this violates First Amendment rights?

I cant because I agree with you. I think these businesses are just worried about their all mighty huge profits they make, rather than anyones First Amendment Rights.

I have no idea. The laws are so corrupted these days. they make alot of them up as they go and change them as they please to suit themselves. I think the tax is going for a great cause. I think they are just being greedy as usual when it comes to taxes.

I cannot, and most bars and clubs here you have to pay a fee to get into already.. its not law.. its the bars money i guess. . people who run bars must make a fourtune! As long as there are people they will love to drink. . not everyone of course.. but the world will never run out of alcoholics!
