Today marks the one year anniversary of the implementation of the Obamacare indoor tanning tax. The punitive 10 percent tax was among the first of twenty-one Obamacare tax hikes to take effect, and is just one of the seven Obamacare tax hikes that break President Obama’s “firm pledge” that no family making less than $250,000 per year would see “any form of tax increase.” Taken together, the full slate of Obamacare tax hikes constitute one of the largest tax increases in American history – more than $500 billion over ten years. On April 14, the first of these tax hikes was repealed: The 1099 small business paperwork tax. This Obamacare tax would have required every business in America to issue a “1099” tax form to every office supply store, gas station, restaurant, etc. from which they bought at least $600 in goods and services throughout the year. Congressman Michael Grimm (R-N.Y.) and Senator Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) have introduced legislation to repeal the indoor tanning tax (H.R. 2092 and S. 1298, respectively).

ObaMao didn't break his promise.

You can avoid the tanning tax by not tanning.

You can avoid the gasoline tax increase by not driving.

You can the carbon tax by not breathing.

Seig! Heil!

You’ve got to hand it to “O” for all the work he did in coming up with a way to punish “whitie” through the tax code. Awesome! (sarc) Imagine what could be taxed if we were trying to direct the punishment the “other way”...

The Tanning industry must have had the weakest lobby, which is why Obama chose them over Big Botox for taxation.

The tanning industry was a convenient twofer. Weak lobby and only whitey pays.

This tax proves that Obama is a racist. It’s a “hate crime” against a certain segment of the population.
