Somewhere, right now, in the city of Detroit there is a girl named “Candy” sitting alone in a dressing room, a single tear roles down her cheek.  Why is Candy so sad?  Well it appears that declining US car sales aren’t hurting only the big three auto companies, they are hurting the little people too, namely-strippers.  In an obvious case of trickle down economics that would make non-believer Barack Obama blush, ’ strip clubs have suffered a serious down turn in business of late. 

 This is how trickle down works: We don’t buy American cars, GM execs are making less money, are they going to take it out of their own pockets?  Of course not, so they fire a few employees.  Those employees, in turn, can’t spend money like they used to on things like food, clothes, and clubs like Hot Tamales or the Hard Body Cafe.  Less patrons means less money for Candy, the girl at the beginning of all this.  Sadly, the trickle doesn’t stop there.  Candy now won’t be able to buy the things she wants, like that “college education” *wink, wink, nod.  More likely Detroit’s clear high heel distributors will be out of work.  It is a sad state of affairs, truly.  

The Chicago Tribune is reporting that:

The topless club in the suburb of Warren — where General Motors and Chrysler employ upwards of 20,000 people — cut the cost of a table dance in half, from $20 to $10, in mid-November. The dancer gets all the money plus any tips, while food and drinks generate the club’s income, general manager Kelly Sander said Tuesday.    

Don’t worry, our tax (bailout) dollars will have these strip clubs booming again in no time!
