Skin Taxes. What next an air tax?

 Several states are considering new taxes on adult entertainment. Everything from sex toys to strip clubs.

See ABC News Here.

Ugh. They don't even allow full nudity in the States, and they're doing this? Yeesh. It's not worth it.

They wont tax the air, just the oxygen.

After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him.

The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

Yes they do.  You've been misled.  It's not worth it either way, given that you're being treated like a sucker no matter how much she's wearing.

Fascinating. Are there state laws then? I've had many an American raving to me about how full nudity is illegal there.

Yah, the federal govt. is a

Yah, the federal govt. is a jurisdiction and can (mostly) only make laws that are relevant to that.  For matters that exist entirely within the boundaries of a single state, each state can make it's own laws.  So as an example, where I am in CT, all the fun bits must be covered at all times in order to get a permit to serve alcohol.  However, a juice bar can have nekked chicks running wild.

Nudity is goverened at the level of local ordinances for the most part.

It's a fairly common rule that there can't be nudity in places where alcohol is served. Apparently that's just too much sinnin' under one roof.

Nobody I know was brainwashed into being an atheist.

Why Believe?

 Miami and Key West allow both alcohol and nudity but not my family friendly city of Orlando.
