DECEMBER 2009 CONGRESS VOTES...NOVEMBER 2010 AMERICA VOTES. YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

So once again another thing that they are trying to take away. Its not enough all the other laws that they are trying to put against the tanning industry. They are going to lose money by this.And what sence does it make to take 5% off but tax the tanning businesses 10%? At least the crooks on the hill can get their botox cheaper.

If you check, these industries are already taxed! These taxes will be in addition to! What a shame every person I know does not want this bill to pass. I now have Medicare, and it is pathetic. You have so much out of pocket cost that your Social Security check hardly covers it all. They are so stupid, what do they think Medicare is? It is socialized medicine and believe me no one will want it. They can't fix what they already have in process, how are they going to make another one work? They can't,that is the answer.

You may have just said the most prophetic thing said here today.

Everything will suddenly fall under the control of healthcare as justification for taxing it: there will be a big tax on beekeepers, because some people are allergic to bees and honey is too sweet and might make you fat. Ice cream, eaten in excess, makes some people fat. So the regulatory boards (many, many boards created by this bill) will force you to behave by taxing your favorite things out of existence.

The breathing tax: picture this. The EPA has decreed that CO2 is a dangerous gas and therefore must be regulated. Every time you exhale, you release CO2 into the atmosphere. GOTCHA. Now a bureaucrat has the authority to write a new regulation requiring you to stop exhaling so often, and to make sure you comply, we'll impose a huge fine (TAX) for each exhale beyond the accepted standards.

youu forgot the pecker tax

won't be long and that is exactly what will happen.

More studies are proving that tanning in a non burning fashion is no more dangerous than drinking water. As a matter of fact, UVB produces Vitamin D, which is a vital part of fighting cancer. Just like most things in life, moderatin is key. Tanning in a non burning fashion builds a base tan that can later prevent sun burning outside for many beach seeking Americans. When you begin to read into the studies that "link" cancer and tanning you find that 90% of the test subjects are skin type I and in the United States, skin type I are not permitted to tan in tanning beds. Just as it is the case with most studies, the results will always support the financial backers of the study-which typically include sunblock companies.

Only believe what you have researched to be true for yourself.

Facelifts, liposuction, etc. are not covered by private insurance. People who want this pay for it themselves. Lasix eye surgery is not paid for by insurance. People who want 20-20 vision without glasses or contacts pay for it out of their own pockets. And guess what, because there is no insurance company or government intervention, the price of lasix eye surgery has come down, down, down.

BON BON you may be a prophet about the breathing tax. The EPA has declared CO2 to be a dangerous gas. Guess what, every time you exhale, you release CO2 into the air. So what do you think is gonna happen? A license for the number of times you can inhale and exhale during any given 24-hour period? How about no exercising because that makes you breathe in and out quicker, and God forbid, don't even think about Yoga breathing exercises.

America is now officially the United Soviet States of America. And we will find that the Marxist equality means that some Marxists are more equal than other Marxists.

The Progressive/socialist/marxists have achieved their Holy Grail of socialized medicine.

God (while we can still invoke His name) help us.
