I think we over tax a lot of things.   This HCR bull shit isn't helping anything.  This tax is almost unneeded, but i don't think it will hurt biz.


Pretty funny thread though.

You laugh, but I cant even begin to tell you the nasty crap she tells me goes on between gay men in Greenwich Village. 

Sticking all sorts of stuff up their asses, etc.  Its revolting and needs to be taxed since its costing me tax dollars.

Use of a tanning bed is definitely a luxury type purchase and most idiots who use them won't notice or care about a 10% increase

Fuck you. Strawman, you and KcBaller disparage Christians and religous people for proclaiming things "becuase they are in the bible". But you are no different than them. In my opinion, tanning in a bed occaisionally will not get you skin cancer anymore than second hand smoke will give you lung cancer. Oh, wait, Im sorry, I forgot there are a lot of dumbshits that believe that crap too!!

Espeacially if you use the most expensive and advanced high pressure beds. Those particular beds DO NOT BURN. I was about to purchase some packages because they typcally run at about $50 a month for most people, which is not bad. But unfortunately Obamacare will be taxing it.
Jan. Jobs: 36,000!!

Why dont we examine KC & Straws' life and I am sure we can find all sorts of crap they do that we find hazardous and should be taxed. 

Like you said - hey KC & Straw - FUCK YOU with your nanny state big brother trash.

These libs are amongst the dumbest, most ill-informed, crazy bunch I have ever seen. 

They simply dont understand that their own crazy policies result in the very thing they scream most about.

Another example of unfair, unjust taxation.  Appauling.  The liberals will not stop, they need more money to fund government programs and mandates.  The only answer is to vote in more fiscally responsible people in 2010.

Extreme resistance exercise and heavy weightlifting will increase healthcare burdens due to the numerous injuries, surgeries, medications and doctor's visits over the years and lack of significant cardiovascular benefit....so let's levy a 10% tax on all heavy weightlifters.  You like that kc & straw?  It's an imperfect example but the point is you are letting the government increasingly decide what is bad for you (even if you disagree) and disproportionally tax.
Where the hell are our freedoms going?

With liberals like KC & Straw, we dont have to worry about Al Quaeda or the NWO.

This is the point.Where will it end?A tax on your kids playing football,tax on weight training,tax on skating etc etc. This is why the health care bill is so dangerous.It has now opened the door to them deeming whatever they want as a taxable activity all in the name of health care reform and costs.

I really think we are getting to the point where we should just draw a line in the country - those than want freedom of commerce, life liberty and pursuit of happiness on one side, and the socialists like Straw and KC on the other. 

Let them have their nanny state all to themselves.

Creating a nanny state/country will have a negative economic effect.  Just look to some of the European countries.  We are on a path to remove us as an economic superpower.

It's noble (and necessary) to educate people on what is and isn't good for them, I do that every hour of the day and strongly support education...but I strongly oppose taxation and/or unequal treatment as a deterrant to a behavior.  Positive reinforcement, yes, but not taxation as negative reinforcement.  Weighing the harm of certain activities can be a very grey area. 
Even though I love that we restricted smoking in most public areas I see where sin taxes opened the door for things that we are seeing now.  Liberals have proposed other taxes like this (tax on pop)...and we'll probably see more of it  We must preserve our freedoms.

Tanning tax angers American salon owners
guardian UK ^ | December 23, 2009


Posted on Wednesday, December 23, 2009 12:17:47 PM by La Lydia

The health reform bill passing through Congress may hold out the hope to 30 million Americans that they will at last be able to get medical insurance, but for another 30 million people it will mean more taxes: the frequenters of indoor tanning salons. In a last-minute change to the Senate bill that was agreed on Friday, a 10% tax was introduced into the legislation on all indoor tanning sessions as a way of reducing the cost of extending healthcare to many of the medically uninsured. Democratic organisers expect the levy to bring in almost $3bn over 10 years.

The move has angered owners of the 20,000 tanning salons that are thought to exist across America who protest this is additional punishment for an industry that is already suffering extreme pain as a result of the economic downturn.

Dan Humiston, president of the Indoor Tanning Association and the owner of 34 salons in New York state, said they was being picked upon. "Out of all industries you could chose, why the tanning industry? Because we're so wealthy? Because we're making so much money? From customers who pay $6 for a tan? No, it's because we're not going to fight back..."

The bulletin boards of tantoday.com, a web forum for salon owners, were full of irate posts. One said: "Thanks Obama for helping a family of 4 trying to get on track and plan for our kids future in a struggling economy after 5 years of personal financial struggles. Please no more help for us small business owners, I can't afford it!"...

His tree, he can have whatever the fuck he wants on it.

When he starts telling me what I can have on my tree, then I will have a problem.  Until then, I don't.
