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.

He’d NEVER tax Botox! Two words: Nancy Pelosi
Probably...I’m sure “ass amp” surgury was second in the hit list.
ya just price tanning lotion so it's the same price as lotion and a tan, sell the lotion and say the tan is free... no tax
This tax proves that Obama is a racist. It’s a “hate crime” against a certain segment of the population.
