Obamas racist new tax targeting whites.

Quote from peilthetraveler:

There will be a 10% tax now at tanning salons which only white and light skinned people use. Nobody is saying anything about this racist tax though. Imagine if they added a 10% tax to gold teeth, gerry curl, or rims on your car. The black community would be up in arms right now and so would the liberal media. Where is the ACLU now? Oh its not racist if white people are targeted?

Another terribly ill informed and outrageous claim .. and yes, dark skin people can also get sunburned.

This is more of a health issue than anything else because of the risks involved. It is logical to tax risky behavior that could lead to higher incidence of diseases, such as the use of tobacco and alcohol, and in this case the use of artificial tanning that can lead to melanoma.

(Nov. 30, 2009) — An estimated quarter of a million 11- to 17-year-olds in England are being put at increased risk of developing malignant melanoma by using sunbeds, warn researchers in a letter to the British Medical Journal.

Recent research concludes that there is a strong correlation between ultraviolet exposure via tanning beds before age 35 and malignant melanoma and squamous cell cancer. This research also shows an association of younger age of exposure to tanning booths and greater risk of skin cancer. Nearly all U.S. studies have found that an estimated one-third of teenaged girls report using tanning beds with 12 to 13 years being a common age of onset and 17 years being the most common age for use. Furthermore, a recent increased incidence of both thinner and thicker melanomas has been noted in young women aged 15-39. This is thought to be related to tanning bed use in women born after 1965.

The "its bad for you, so lets tax it" idea is ridiculous. Makes me angrier than almost any of the other taxes. You don't get to tax something just because you say its bad for me. I get to choose what is bad for me, not you. next thing you know it will be "masturbation makes you go blind, 10 cents per senseless ejaculation". What a load of shit.

Not outrageous. Dark skin people do not go to tanning salons.

And if its logical to tax risky behavior, why dont they tax the riskiest behavior...overeating? That causes the most health problems in the united states. All fast food places should then have an additional 10% tax, right?

This bill targeted ONE specific group that just happened to be a group that was mostly whites that used that service?

(wow...i just realized I'm complaining "the man" is trying to keep me down just because I'm white) So this is what it feels like to be prejudiced against, huh?

Now i have a reason not to work, have 8 kids, and rob ATMs I guess.
 
everyones up in arms callig the forcing of one to pay health insurance unconstitutional, where were the insurance lobbyists when they made car insurance mandatory....and by the way pell, blacks do go to tanning salons,like a lot of people, before a winter vacation in a sunny,balmy spot.. to avoid sunburn when they get there
