I dunno, some times they are
NY Court rules that lap dances are not art and are subject to sales taxes. I wonder how you would measure “gyrating ass”?

An extortionist doesn’t need logic when he’s got lots of cops.

The ecoles of Paris so dominated classical dance that for generations all ballet was referred to as “French dance.”
It was in Detroit and Windsor that the Poles and Lapps came into their own.

The idea that “artistic” performances for money should be exempt from tax is ludicrous.
The problem is not “lap dances are not art/culture” or “the court is having to decide the law”, but “let’s not tax art/culture”.
Tax them all, or tax none of them.
(That said, a “lap dance” is no more art-as-opposed-to-service than decorated foam on my coffee makes it not a purchase and exempt from tax because Hey It’s Art, even given the ludicrous law.
I say this not as some prude who scoffs at the idea, but as someone who’s seen lap dances and how they’re marketed and consumed.
“Art” is not the object on either side of the equation, and nobody even pretends it is … except when they’re trying to get a tax break in New York, I guess.
Which is fair, in that there’s rent there to be sought, thus rent-seeking will occur.)

They’re just going to stipulate a small fee to the the club, and the rest will just be “tips.”

No need to pay tax on what doesn’t appear in the ledger…

measure that gyrating ass by standard deviation from a stationary tongue. 😉
