consumer tax on adult entertainment and novelties

Create a special consumer tax on adult entertainment – downloading X rated movies in hotels, entrance to strip clubs and on novelties purchased within the county. The club, hotel or place of business is not taxed- the consumer is. This has been done in other states. I have a group of constitutional lawyers who would love to work on this concept here. Do you think someone going into a strip club is not going in because of an additional fifty cents fee on the cover? Think a viewer is not going to pay an additional twenty five cents to watch an X-rated movie in a hotel? Revenue could be used for whatever the county needs – roads, infrastructure, education, etc.
