Texsox Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Tax plan turns into strip club spat HOUSTON, Texas (Reuters) -- What started as a proposal to reform school finance in Texas has turned into a fight over strip joints. Texas Gov. Rick Perry wants to tax the clubs to help pay for public schools, but fellow Republican Carole Keeton Strayhorn, the powerful state comptroller, thinks the state should shut them down. Strayhorn has blasted the plan in what political experts say are likely the early shots of a possible gubernatorial campaign in 2006, when Perry's term expires. The dispute also highlights a party split in President Bush's home state of Texas between Bush's gubernatorial successor and the mother of his White House spokesman Scott McClellan and his Medicare administrator Mark McClellan.

kapkomet Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I saw that on the news on Friday and cracked up. When are these people going to learn? State politics here is just a shade more soap operaish then most states I've paid attention to. Hey little Jimmy, guess how your teacher gets paid? From a STRIP CLUB!

The funny thing is... they get a TAX CREDIT for those things. They get to fully write the cost of them off as equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen Prawn Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 I think we should tax anyone with a friggin' F350... WHY DO YOU NEED THIS VEHICLE...er, AIRCRAFT CARRIER?!?!?! F250s are sufficient for tow/trailing cars, but if you have a larger drag car/RV/etc., you need an F350. We have an F250 which suits us, but the race car we have isn't that heavy and it holds a decent amount of scrap! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
