Why do you think they didn’t hit the nail salons? There are certainly MORE of them than tanning salons.
This is just another Nanny State tax. New, there will be taxes on anything and everything the nanny state deems unhealthy; TV sets (promotes sedentary lifestyle), computers (ditto), candy (rots teeth), soft drinks (too caloric), movie theaters (sedentary, again). The possible list is endless. In fact, about the only thing that won’t be taxed might be broccoli and cauliflower; and maybe parsnips get a pass.
Darn tootin’.
It’s the Cracker Tax.
They'll make you pay the tax on the imputed cost of the tanning. There aint no such thing as a free tan...oh wait a minute - what about the sun. That's it - a solar-powered tanning salon. We can offset the tax with the energy credit...
We're so smart - we should open a chain of secret tanning salons. We'll call the franchise TAN-EASY....
she has a point, if congress passed a tax on dreadlocks the NAACP would be up in arms about discrimination.
Yeah they should tax 40 oz beer.....LOL.
