Heartbreaking--NY court: Lap dances are not art and are taxable

[Elrod]

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Lap dances are taxable because they don't promote culture in a community the way ballet or other artistic endeavors do, New York's highest court concluded Tuesday in a sharply divided ruling.

Ahh chucks, the government can even make more money making the dancers more accountable, force them to claim 100% of tips and pay taxes, I bet many of them won't be able to afford going to college, having a nice condo, driving a fancy car after paying taxes. But on another note, medical researchers have found out getting a lap dance reduces stress :)

For those of you who watch what you eat, here's the final word on nutrition and health. It's a relief to know the truth after all those conflicting nutritional studies.

1. The Japanese eat very little fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

2. The Mexicans eat a lot of fat and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

3. The Chinese drink very little red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

4. The Italians drink a lot of red wine and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

5. The Germans drink a lot of beers and eat lots of sausages and fats and suffer fewer heart attacks than Americans.

CONCLUSION

Eat and drink what you like.

Speaking English is apparently what kills you.

MAS, how come you have so much information about lap dancers? I think you are stress free while you gather this information.
