Apparently Reid's "managers amendment" imposes an "EXCISE TAX ON INDOOR TANNING SERVICES IN LIEU OF ELECTIVE COSMETIC MEDICAL PROCEDURES." ! LOL!

[Honeybunch]

Everyone will still be able to see the nip and tuck results on the faces of our Congress critters, and Nancy won't take a hit to her pocketbook.

“If you vote for me your tax will not go up one Penny. Not a cent” Liar in Chief Barrak Hussein Obama. Mnnn Mnnn Mnnn.

[acoulterfan]

I think it is like 10% Excise Tax. Strange!

[acoulterfan]

Probably because it causes skin cancer!

Will it help? Maybe not. But doing nothing will definitely not help. And hopefully they will have nightmares for prostituting themselves to Harry Reid. And will live in fear and dread, knowing that they will be booted from office at the next election.

[stevestras]

Yup.

Next up, homosexuals to get 50 percent tax credit since their lifestyle pushes R&D in medicine and allows us to suffer along with Africa.

[Honeybunch]

You’re right. 10%.

[FormerACLUmember]

Not a single human being on earth has read this bill, outside of few tentative excerpts.

There are vast, vast horrors waiting in the dark depths of this national nightmare.

[ml/nj]

Do those @$$#oles pay tax on the value of the rides they were given to get to their Senate offices yesterday? If not, why not?

[Honeybunch]

I absolutely agree.

[Honeybunch]

I think the lovely snow was an invitation from God for them to consider the consequences of the path they are on, and reconsider their support for this disaster. They seem intent on an Epic Fail, however.

[jazminerose]

Not the spray on airbrushing tans which should never ever be taxed. Nor should botox or any other essential commodity.

[blackdog]

Burlusconi every last one of them. They’ll have to move to another country to avoid the people who’s trust they violated. There just are not that many government police.

[Plumberman27]

The entire bill is UNCONSTITUTIONAL in EVERY manner.
The Congress, Senate, nor The President have the authority to enact this law. As soon as the vote takes place a million constitutional challenges should take place. Tie this up until the next election and revisit and repeal the bill. Take it to the courts forever!

[blackdog]

That's been discussed, and it's been decided that american serfs will not have "legal standing" before the courts on this legislation according to Judge Andrew Nepolitano.

I just can't imagine BHO's end game on this. Is it really to just destroy our entire country in a civil war against it's government and let third world marxists come in and pick up the pieces that are left when it's over?

Is this legislation merely the means to an entirely different end game?

[RockyMtnMan]

Please point out the definitive scientific study that proves your statement. It falls into the same category of “eggs are high in cholesterol therefore they are bad for you”. There are no studies that prove the correlation between tanning and skin cancer only supposition of the relationship.

Exposure to UVB radiation promotes the natural creation of vitamin D, which significantly boosts the immune system and helps to regulate hormones. Those winter time blues are generally caused by lack of exposure to sunlight.

[RockyMtnMan]

If this monstrosity passes I look forward to the gnashing of teeth when soda pop, candy, and cheeseburgers are heavily taxed due to their “bad for you” status. Government should not be involved in our health care or lifestyle decisions in ANY way.

Let the insurance industries manage risk in a free market fashion. They will set rates that make them profitable for shareholders and competitive with other insurers in a way that is good for everyone.

[blackdog]

Arguing about tanning beds causing skin cancer or not is just silly in a global culture which thinks pictures of polar bears floating in the water and a graph proves global warming.

Reading Shakespear to swine I'm afraid.......

[Professional Engineer]

I was about to ask what he had against leather. LOL
