New York's says lap dance isn't art, is taxable
Published October 23, 2012
Associated Press
A sharply divided court in New York says lap dances don't promote culture in a community the way ballet or other artistic endeavors do, and so shouldn't get a tax break.
The state's top court split 4 to 3. Dissenting justices conclude there's no distinction in state law between "highbrow dance and lowbrow dance," so the case raises "significant constitutional problems."
The lawsuit was filed by Nite Moves, an adult club in suburban Albany that was arguing its fees for admission and private dances are exempt from sales taxes.
The court majority says taxes apply to many entertainment venues, such as amusement parks and sporting events. It ruled the club has failed to prove it qualifies for the exemption for "dramatic or musical arts performances" meant to promote culture.

A closely fought decision, between judges who enjoy lap-dances and those who don't!
Seriously, why would anyone think their job, stripper or otherwise, is exempt from taxes?

If a single mother supporting her deadbeat alcoholic boyfriend and premie infant with special needs by grinding some fat fucks hog for $10 a song ain't art, I don't want to know what is!

You are the John Steinbeck of our time.
