I like the headline for this story, it's pretty funny. As for a 10% tax on tanning, I could care less. Why can't people just use the sun? You don't have to look tan from October-April, it's the friggin' WINTERTIME! During the summer months, spend some time outside and you will look and feel great.

Tax on tanning?? Good thing I have a tanning bed in my house. Well let's see tax on tanning because it causes skin cancer, cigarettes because they cause lung cancer...let's tax McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's and all restaurants because they contribute to heart attacks...auto makers because people get hurt in accidents...while we are at it..tax people who hang up Christmas lights and Christmas trees because they use more energy which in turn causes us to burn more coal....Should I have to pay more for gas because I choose an SUV....Exactly where does it stop...How about taxing crooked politicians more because they drive around in their own personal parades of Tahoes and Escalades, own 7 enormous houses, and probably tan themselves...but we couldn't do that now could we...That just wouldn't be fair. I say we need another Boston Tea Party!!!! Hang in there taxation without representation cannot stand. Sooner or later it will bite them in the @SS.

10% Tanning Tax? Wow...is that like a tax on white people now?

This is getting just too crazy with the taxes.

OVobserver, the tax is also on EKG monitors, Pulse Oxy meters, bloodpressure monitors, and every single piece of diagnostic equipment in the hospital or Doctor's office. What do THEY have to do with prevention? It is all about TAX and SPEND!

Your Kool Aid is getting sour.

They might as well tax the hell out of everything!!!! They might as well even take away tax right offs. But guess what, that will never happen because there are to many crooked politicians out there that make BROKEN PROMISES every election and have right offs for just about everything. It makes me sick!!!!! Hang in there Ms. Giovengo!!! I hate to say this, but the only way to get ahead in this world in to be crooked as H@&%!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well the main idea of this tax is PREVENTION....skin cancer treatments cost tax payers hundreds of millions of dollars each year and the only way to stop skin cancer now is by NOT using these beds...oh and ms giovengo what does wv's business environment have to do with federal legislation??

REMEMBER THIS 'HEALTH CARE REFORM BILL' THE NEXT ELECTION. WHETHER IT IS TAXING TANNING SERVICES, OR TAXING THE AVERAGE CITIZEN TO COVER THE FRAUD AND SCAMS IN THIS LEGISLATION THEY ARE CRIMINALS. OUR CONGRESS BELONGS TO A UNIQUE GROUP = FUTURE PRISONERS. THEY DO NOT RESPECT THE VOTER= LET'S KEEP OUR EYE ON THE BALL AND REMEMBER THIS EVERY FUTURE ELECTION.
