This explains why he didn’t suggest taxing it
One of Elliot Spitzer’s last acts as Governor of our state was to propose we tax illegal drugs — as a way to address our budget issues.
Hey, I wonder why he didn’t propose we tax prostitution as well?!?!?
Think of the extra bucks we could bring in!
And while we’re at it, Spitzer thought it would be a fine idea to force NY State residents to pay sales tax on business we do with out-of-state merchants.
The sales tax rate in Albany is 8 percent.
According to some accounts today, he’s spent $80,000 on prostitutes over the last decade.
Back of the envelope calculations: he owes $6400 in sales taxes!!!!
Plus penalties and interest, thank you very much!
