disparate impact! This tax clearly penalizes the pasty Euro-American and favors our more dark complected brethren.

This is the part of the bill that angers Boehner the most.

This is a racist tax on people of Northern European descent who have enough money for a tanning salon. They need to do a similar tax on nail salons that welfare mothers frequent.
