10% on tanning salons to help pay for medical bill? - GoFuckYourself.com

Senate Democrats are proposing a 10 percent sales tax on tanning salons, to be paid by the person soaking up the rays. The Food and Drug Administration says ultraviolet radiation from tanning can increase the risk of skin cancer.

I was reading the newest changes in the health care reform bill to get the senators to vote yes on it and they now say they have the 60 votes to pass it

ANd now moveon.org is telling the dems not to vote for the bill

Can anyone say cluster fuck?

I still can't believe they are going to pass this, whats the rush? WHy can't they work on a bill that works with the GOP and come up with something that makes everyone happy?

The GOP is threatening to read the whole bill before the vote, which would delay the vote for 6 months! LOL

Before long they'll think that they can start charging people for entering and exiting their own home.

Whatever happened to the word "public?"

It is an impossibility to have a bill that will make everyone happy. I personally do not believe that the current Congress will present a health care bill to the President for his signature...as the differences between the House bill and the Senate bill are major and I do not believe that they will be reconciled by this Congress.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants think about that
