To help fund the $940 billion health care overhaul, a 10% tax on individuals receiving indoor tanning services was tacked on, and the initiative is expected to generate $2.7 billion over ten years (cnn.com)
I was reading about the Tan Tax which I believe started last week. Here are some of the frighfully racist comments I read:
Seems like a racist tax that targets white people...
Hmmm i wonder why Obama would put a tax on tanning?? Maybe its because its somethin he would never do. I dont see a tax on fried chicken or rap music.
How about a fried chicken tax...
can we say backdoor reparations?
I have never seen anything as racist as the tax on tanning parlors... I wonder when the last time Michelle Obama stopped by for a quick touch-up on her tan. Maybe they should have a Gold Tooth tax to offset this.
Damn! These are real comments from realy people. Really racist people. I read like 10 comments saying "well I bet he won't tax fried chicken or afro sheen." WTF is that? If you cann afford the $15/$20 to sit in a box to soak up artificial lighting you can pay $16. 50 or even $22 to sit in a box and soak up artificial lighting.
And, if it is Obama's way of sticking it to the man is he also sticking it to himself since his mother is white?
