from Wiki: The Twenty-fourth Amendment (Amendment XXIV) prohibits both Congress and the states from conditioning the right to vote in federal elections on payment of a poll tax or other types of tax. The amendment was proposed by Congress to the states on August 27, 1962, and was ratified by the states on January 23, 1964.
Only half a century later, Texas has brought the pole the tax back!
Texas passed a state law in 2007 imposing a $5-per-customer charge “pole tax,” on strip club customers. The civil rights community protested, but the Texas Supreme Court in 2011, rejected a claim that the state fee violates free-speech rights by infringing on a mode of expression: sexually suggestive dancing.
Now Houston wants to add a city tax! Council member Jack Christie said the strip clubs will survive. “When you look at videos of these clubs and see women putting $5, $10 and $20 dollar bills in their remaining clothing, I don’t think a $5 tax will hurt anybody,” he said.
