Sure to send the Oompa-Loompa vote into a tizzy. On a more serious note, I do visit tanning salons on occasion and could really care less if I pay a bit more. The key word here is “on occasion.” Those tanorexic types need a bit of motivation to slow down. What happens is they end up getting skin cancer and end up on the public dole for treatment. If implementing a small tax prevents this unnecessary use of my tax dollars then I have no problem with it. The preamble to the U.S. Constitution states that, “We the People” established the Constitution to, “Promote the General Welfare.” This action would seem to promote that noble goal.
However, I understand that some conservatives may disagree with my interpretation of “Promoting the General Welfare,” means. That’s where elections and the SCOTUS comes in. Elections have consequences guys.
On a separate note, this is bound to be very upsetting to out favorite Oompa-Loompa, John Boehner.
