Taxing a lap dance is a bit silly. But not because it’s an art form. Say this to yourself seriously: Cock grinding is an art form; a hand job is artistic expression. Stupid, right?
The government’s problem is trying to tax dancers. That’s what this is all about. And the problem with that lies in the current nature of the business. To properly tax dancers, clubs would have to return to treating dancers as paid employees (which, given stage requirements, they essentially are). This in turn would cause a problem with the dancers’ lap dance commissions. Clubs would lose their house fee income from the girls; they would also have to go back to paying DJs and house moms. To compensate, clubs would need to take a higher percentage of dancers’ room sales. In turn, dancers would make less money and the workforce would be greatly diminished, leading to diminished clientele and many businesses closing – tax-paying businesses, I might add.
Governments, both local and state, need to back off and continue to hit the rich club owners in their big, deep pockets – not the dancers. They are at the bottom of the pyramid.

James King seems to have more than immaturity and insecurity issues based in being aroused by a dancer, then not having his sexual desires satisfied immediately. His words have the smugly superior tone of one who not only does not approve, but knows he’s ‘right’ and that those who don’t agree with his view are deficient and inferior. In short, he sounds like an an asshole. I’d be willing to bet that the ‘sounds like’ translates to ‘is.’ The ‘give me a friggin’ break’ option for the ‘poll’ tends to support my opinion.

Yeah, that blogger clearly has bitterness out his eyeballs and fingertips. I wonder how many nakie ladies have cleaned out his wallet? I bet at least a couple.
