Tax Lawyer Fights Rulings Barring Deduction For Prostitutes

Quote:

A 78-year-old retired Brooklyn, N.Y. tax lawyer said Thursday he will continue to challenge state and federal rulings disallowing medical expense tax deductions he claimed for his spending on prostitutes and pornography.

"It's a holistic approach to medicine," William G. Halby told Forbes. He said he spent the money--more than $300,000 over five years--to fight depression. . . .

I hope this miscarriage of justice is fixed in time for my holistic medicinal trip to Law Vegas next year.

That is by far the best homeopathic depression remedy I've ever heard. Even if the IRS denies his claim, they need to send him a certificate authenticating the fact he has 20 pound balls.
