I believe Stephen Colbert did a joke about this right after the idea came up.

Of course to balance it out we could have a Jerri Curl tax.

I don’t think the John Boehners of the world were going to vote for him anyway.

If Obama really wanted to alienate middle-class Americans, he’d put a tax on fast-food establishments. Start with Happy Meals. He’d never get another vote from the mothers of pre-schoolers.

I don't think Rush can use his line that “women and minorities are hit hardest.”

I am curious as to what percentage of idiots who use these facilities voted for 0bama. If it is a very high number like I am guessing, then what can I say? GOOD!

Yet another argument for a national retail sales tax like the FairTax to replace all other federal taxes. One rate for everything, no exceptions, no social engineering.

But then something like that would nuke K Street which exists primarily for the buying and selling of lines in the tax code.

Fact is, all selective taxes are discriminatory. Some, like the gasoline tax that is (supposedly) used for roads, are perhaps acceptable. Others, like liquor taxes, this tax, and the so-called “progressive” income tax are discriminatory. They are examples of the tyranny of the majority.

The majority aren’t rich, therefore, the rich should be taxed. The majority don’t use the tanning booth - therefore, the tanning salons should be taxed. The majority don’t drink in great quantity - therefore, the drinkers should be taxed.

“No tax for you, no tax for me; we’ll tax that man behind the tree.”

She pointed out that fast-food restaurants pose a more immediate risk to health.

Another example of a brain-dead voter asking the gov't to tax someone else, like the wealthy.

When confronted with the reality that we are all targets for liberal taxation, they still do not get it.

“The majority don’t drink in great quantity..” Define “great quantity.”

Does tanning the skin cause skin damage or not? Especially to white women (women’s skin being thinner than men’s).

Sources I have seen say that the damaging rays from tanning booths are 2-3 times stronger than those from the sun.
