Is the new "Tanning Tax" racist?

[Young Gotti]

So lets re-phrase my question: If the government taxed a product or service who's customer base is 85% men would it be called sexist? LOL!

you mean if the governement would tax a lot of these supplements out there....or banning ph's all together which isn't a tax but is sexist since i'm pretty sure their demographic is mostly males

That I would have to disagree with... I can almost guarantee the fat burner market is predominantly female!

I think the race/sex angle is much ado about nothing. I mean, if they only taxed menthol cigarettes and 40 oz. of malt liquor or quarter-waters and onion garlic potato chips, they might be sending a message. But even then, would that message be so bad? I think the real issue is that we could all use a little less "government" in our lives. They're like a naggy boss.

That is quite the attack on the ability for American Choice.

I see everyone attacking obesity and different foods as the primary attack on our health care costs, and that is just a red herring propagated by the left.

Considering our health care is predominantly inflated by the aging baby boomers, do we now tax "Old"?

Yes.
