Salon didn't really answer the question, to my way of thinking.
But there was another story below it.
Are brothels really to blame for Nevada's woes?
Seems Harry Reid is calling for Nevada to close the brothels in order to attract a higher class of business.
What Reid didn't mention in his speech is that brothels contribute a decent penny to their counties in fees and taxes. Nye County's bordellos paid $150,000 in taxes last year, according to KTNV. Dennis Hof, owner of the Moonlite Bunny Ranch, says his four brothels in Lyon County employ 650 people and pay roughly $500,000 in fees to the county each year. In 2009, brothel owners lobbied to have a $5 tax applied to prostitution, claiming it would raise $2 million a year for the state, but the Legislature shied away from the proposal, which was seen as legitimizing the trade.
So $5 a trick, $2 Million= 400,000 trick per annum in Nevada brothels. Hardly a drop in the cum bucket.
