Corporate box-goers in New York, as in every other U.S. city, get to write off 50% of the expense for tax purposes, which means the taxpayers down in the cheap seats are footing part of the bill for the alleged client wooing going on upstairs. And in the case of arenas and stadiums built with public funds, hoi polloi are having their pockets picked twice...
