New Tax on Indoor Tanning Goes into Effect--I found this odd....

[LibocalypseNow]

Socialism/Communism doesn't work. Lets hope America understands this. It's time to kick some Socialist Democrat A*S. Hopefully this will begin this year.

This is such a true statement. I bitch about the tremendous taxes our government has placed on cigarettes, but if I REALLY wanted to do something about it, I would quit smoking. It is my CHOICE to smoke and my CHOICE to pay the taxes, however unfair I consider them to be. Once our government starts taxing sugary soda, fast food and salt, then some of the rest of you will be forced to make similar CHOICES.

Yeah....nothing like your nanny government spanking you when you get out of line, right? I think you would have been a good candidate with the Pavlov Experiment....that is if you were a dog. Keep jumping through the hoops for nanny.

Again, this is my choice. Do you drive a car? Do you have ANY idea how many individual taxes are lumped on cars and their maintenance? Are all drivers nannies too, in your little mind?

Oh brother.....you simple minded twit. Transportation is a need, would you agree? Now smoking, tanning, buying bottled water are not needed but a choice of an individual....should he/she be punished unduly for a lifestyle?
By the way, I'm not against taxes....just excessive taxes, which you seem to have no boundaries for. Like I said....dog, Pavlov Experiment.

hmmm....a behavior tax on tanning....

maybe there should also be a gay marriage tax....

There's already a marriage tax...period. Straight or gay...

Really? Why are taxes on cars NEEDED? Do you know that state and local taxes collected for inspections, licenses and tags on cars in Virginia do NOT feed into roads? They feed a "general fund"...now please, Pavlov, tell me again why those taxes are "needed"?

Nobody's got a gun to your heads. If you don't want to pay the tax, don't go to a tanning salon.

And maybe get your fat asses off the couch once in a while and go outside where the tanning is free.

Hell.. I never go to such places

But the idea that government is there to tax every little area, activity, or aspect of the lives of the citizenry is ludicrous

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Socialists/Progressives cheering for more punitive taxes? Yikes! Yea America,i think it's time to give these loons the boot. Make it happen in 2010!

 

[ScreamingEagle]

You mean straight marriage/gay marriage behavior is taxed fairly but tanning/not tanning behavior isn't...?

DISCRIMINATION!!!

 

[Dr.House]

I feel so sorry for John Boehner.....do you think we should take up a collection to pay for his increased tanning bill?

And "Plugs" Biden....

OKAY...you brought it up...if they don't go to where they should....why do we need the taxes? For their out of control spending....and you are okay with that?
Sit, Spike, sit. Good boy....here's a bone for you.

[LibocalypseNow]

Repeal the Tanning Bed Tax now! My God,any Republican should be able to beat a silly Socialist/Progressive Democrat at this point. Just kick their a*ses and repeal stupid punitive taxes like this. The people would be incredibly grateful. The Socialists/Progressives gotta go. Nuff said.

Spike, not all states are like where you live. Like I said, I do believe in taxes, just not excessive taxes. But you can't couldn't answer my question either, so obviously you could care less where your money goes as long as it goes to your Master. Who has been brainwashed?....I question, and you fall in line like a good little boy. See the difference? I bet you don't

Fair enough Pavlov, let's examine the taxes you pay and where they go. What state do you live in? I will even do the research for you on this one....

Democrat-Progessive party equals, JUSTICE FOR ALL

It’s Time to Tax Whitey–

Dems impose a 10% surcharge on the use of ultraviolet indoor tanning beds. White folks feel burned.

The Washington Post reported:
washingtonpost.com

The sun hasn’t exactly set on Solar Planet, but anxiety over the fate of the Arlington tanning salon has been running high ever since a “tan tax” took effect Thursday.

One of the less publicized measures in the new health-care law, the tax imposes a 10 percent surcharge on the use of ultraviolet indoor tanning beds.

Supporters — including the Obama administration, congressional Democrats and dermatologists — have argued that the tax will raise an estimated $2.7 billion toward the cost of expanding health coverage to the uninsured, while discouraging a practice that increases the risk of skin cancer by as much as threefold in frequent users, according to scientific research.

I find indoor tanning booths odd.

 

[LibocalypseNow]

Most indoor tanning businesses are small businesses. Attacking and punishing them makes no sense. Some will now have to go out of business or lay off more employees. This stuff only hurts the country and its economy. As usual the Socialists/Progressives are misguided. Why attack and punish small businesses for the Government's awful malfeasance? These punitive taxes are wrong and i don't care how the loyal Socialists/Progressives try to spin things. It's time for real change in this country. Time to wave bye bye to the Socialists/Progressives in both parties. Make it happen America.

You really think tanning fanatics are going to stop going because they have to cough up an additional $1.70 for their fix?

Who is attacking the tanning business? Certainly not this tax. You know as well as I do that the businesses only operate as a conduit for this tax, it is the customers that pay the tax.

I honestly do not believe that tanning salons are going to notice any kind of a change in business from this tax.

I wonder if this tanning tax falls under that "No one making less that 200,000 a year will be paying any additiona taxes" bs that OL'BO has promised??

The State will raise taxes on anythign they can to help balance their budgets and the Fed are going to tax anything they can tax to help pay for the HC clusterfuck Soda, cigarrettes, tanning, you name it.

We all better get used to it.

 

[B. Kidd]

At first, cigarette's, now tanning beds.

I gotta tell my Paiute friend to order tanning beds!
