NY court says strip club’s lap dances are taxable. Damn you Big Government! ///
An New York appellate court has ruled that lap dancing will no longer enjoy the tax exemption allowed for “dramatic or musical arts performances.”
ALBANY, New York — Getting a lap dance isn’t the same as taking in a ballet, so an alcohol-free strip club will have to pay the tax man, a New York state court has ruled.
Four Appellate Division justices agreed with a state tax appeals commission’s earlier finding that dances onstage or in private rooms at the club Nite Moves in suburban Albany don’t qualify for a state tax exemption as “dramatic or musical arts performances.”
Where do these liberal activist Judges get off by saying that a woman gyrating her buttocks against my crotch in time with top 40 music tracks is not an artistic performance? How dare they attempt to illegally and unconstitutionally levy this tax upon a common entertainment choice of Gentlemen everywhere? Don’t they know that the Founding Fathers specifically exempted lap dancing from Federal legislation and taxation via the First Amendment?
I hope this goes all the way to the Supreme Court and is overturned, someone needs to reign in these damn Liberal activist Judges!
