I guess stripping is okay if it's for big TAX-FREE bucks.
/sarc.
Years back, an aquaintance of mine, a Dominatrix in Berkeley, was considering going "legit". I brought up the fact she would then begin paying taxes. She decided to stay "under the table".
And dittos in re the groupies who are always clamoring in SF and Berkeley to legalize prostitution. And of course, they couch it (intended pun) in terms of "legalizing sex workers", and the rights and beauty of "giving relief" to the community as a (w)hole (pun intended).
Years ago, I brought up to some of the activists the whole "paying tax" thing if they did go legitimate. They revealed to me that they didn't care and because the agenda was about "universal health care" for prostitutes.
So, the fact that they'd be paying TAXES, SSI, ETC in addition to "healthcare" wasn't something they wished to discuss.
FREE, FREE, FREE was their mantra. lol. lol. Not funny, but funny in a funny way... Thereby again proving my edict mantra about liberals:
Liberals think with their genitals and have sex with their brains.
