Triumph,

No problem. Just join me in my campaign for tax free beer at strip clubs!

There’s no entry fees for strip clubs in the United States, either. I was making a JOKE…….

Sorry I didn't get it! Stripping is a profession I take very seriously!

Hm. Wilde said that one should either be a work of art, or wear a work of art. Properly qualified stripteasers hit the mark on both.

Although, come to think about it, I suppose the feds might be able to exempt goods sold at performance events from sales taxes. Tax free beer at strip clubs would be nice...

Also, the United States already “exempts performance events from taxes.” There is no VAT in the US and the feds don’t tax any performance events.

I can’t argue with that logic. If the United States ever decides to exempt performance events from taxes, let’s hope the courts keep this Norwegian ruling in mind as persuasive authority…

First of all, as a conisseur of strip clubs, I can tell you that it it certainly a form of "acting." The dancers are clearly flirtatous, engaging, etc... as part of their act.

It is a physical performance no different than the ballet.
