    Re: Gifts

    Andrew;

    Certainly, I have no argument with the idea that an escort is free to charge what she feels the traffic will bear, and likewise any punter is completely free to choose those providers that he feels are going to provide him with a satisfactory service for the fee charged.

    The point I was trying to make in my post above, was that I don't think it is fair to compare an escorts hourly rate, utilized perhaps only a few times a day, with say, a dentist or lawyer who consistently might make that much, or even much more, every hour of the day, every working day, of every month. e.g. just opening our mouth for a dentist, surely provides him with an even larger hourly rate, as he diligently scouts out the elusive cavities and plaque that you did not even suspect, so he can bill our insurance carriers with his exhorbitant fees [Geez, I hope you aren't a dentist].

    Yes, some of us may have insurance plans to cover those inflated costs - but isn't it too bad that our OHIP health insurance plan is not willing to compensate us for the "stress relief" that we punters enjoy so much while we're visiting our T-therapists. Hmmm, I wonder, would a psychiatrist bill more than a Tgirl escort, for providing us with the reqired stress relief?

    My difficulty really with your suggestion Andrew, is that though they are sometimes making, say $150 for an hours session, I feel that does not mean that they are living in the lap of luxury. There may be many hours that a girl may not work. They like other professionals, have a lot of bills to pay and expenses to cover and, as both Tia and Lucy have recently pointed out too, there is always the necessity of socking as much as possible away in a fund for the future, when Gravity and Mother Time take their toll on their bodies and they can no longer gather a following of admirers.

    And, yes some escorts, both female and shemale, do not pay their taxes but there are some others who actually do so, to avoid the Rev. Canada audits. Knowing some professionals, such as the type you have suggested, as well as some businessmen, I do know too, that they often only pay only a token amount compared to those of us who have no way of avoiding the tax man. I doubt that Paul Martin and Lord Black pay taxes proportionately with incomes of the the working class.

    Let's not be too hard on these girls. If they charge too much the shoppers will simply stay away and they'll lose out just like any other merchant who tries to rip off their customers!

      Toban,

      Lord Black isn't on trial for tax evasion. He is on trial for billing personal expenses to his Hollinger, a publicly traded company. Despite what one may think of Lord Black & his arrogance he pays more in a taxes in a year than you or I will in a lifetime.

      I have tried to compare Service Provider’s rates to other people's pay in an effort to provide a yard stick. Many people go to university for many years and continue studying after they graduate to obtain professional designations and do not make per hour what SP's do. A dentist spends 7 years studying a difficult program and bills less for a cleaning than an SP does. Both services are one hour. The Dentist has an office to rent, expensive equipment to purchase, supplies to pay for, a secretary & a dental assistant.

      I understand and I have acknowledged that SP's won't work every hour of the day. It is for this reason that a rate higher than a Chartered Accountant & a Dentist is common place for SP’s.

      As I have said each SP is free to charge what they wish. One SP came on this board and bragged about how she made $10 000 in one week. Another spoke of an SP’s Jaguar. For most SP’s this is tax free money. No union dues, professional fess, overhead, secretaries to pay for & little in the way of capital and operating costs. For some there are surgeries. I am pleased that SP’s are successful in Toronto. However if we are honest, most work far fewer hours than your average person and they make much more. Let’s take a rate of $150 per hour and multiply it by 3 clients (that’s 3 hours) per day. That is $450 per day, $2250 per week and if they work only 40 weeks per year that is $90,000 per year tax free and they would only be working 15 hours per week and they would get 12 weeks vacation per year. What would you have to earn gross to net $90,000?

      So I don’t think we should be calling anyone cheap who pays $150 per hour.

      As I said I am pleased if Service Provider’s in Toronto are doing well and becoming successful. In a free market economy each is free to charge what they will and what the market will bear.
