It is more than possible for me to take a midnight stroll and get a tan. No joke! I tan in no time flat. Some people pay good money to go to tanning centers to do to their bodies what comes naturally and quickly for me.
I watched and listened to the CEO and President of Hollywood Tans this afternoon. The tanning association is being taxed 10% for each "procedure" under the rules of Obama's health care plan. I'm sure there are those out there who aren't too excited about this new TAX. Many would say it's a frivolous, silly thing to do to their bodies. Why, it's almost the same as getting a tattoo. There was talk of a tax on plastic surgery but that's been eliminated. According to the tanning guy they(botox people) have a much larger lobby and a lot more money to to persuade politicians to vote their way. Who would find this surprising? Most people who use tanning centers are middle and lower class folks. Tanning centers are like Subway sandwich shops; one on every corner and they cater to Betty Sue and guys like Slick. Upper class dames and gents hop planes to the Bahamas to get brown bodies.
The point is a lot of people who do go to tanning centers will stop going. Remember that there is a 10% tax and that will be passed on to the people. It's going to be a paperwork nightmare for the owners of the companies and, surprise, the higher costs mean the help will be let go. I'm sure there are many more ramifications but this will do for now. Higher costs, more taxes, higher unemployment, companies going out of business and forced payment of insurance premiums; get the picture? Now, think of the hundreds of thousands of small businesses in this country where tanning bed rules apply. Yep! Leave it to the liberals to make life better for us. How is it possible for me to be angry like anger never before experienced and vomit sick at the same time?
