Start a class war? HELL NO, that's why the government can get away with this type of shit. If it don't affect me big deal:
Tax the hell out of cigarettes but not pipe tobacco/ non-smokers cheer
Extra tax on soda and box juices/ health nuts cheer
Lets raise the gas tax/ The rich could really give a crap less

Divide and conquer one sector at a time and the masses cheer. I find your comment about taxing these places out of existence a bit ironic for this site...what about when they decide to tax care-givers/co-ops/dispensaries/ or personal growers in legal mmj states out of business? You just know that the masses will cheer on that also.

Health Care Bill/ Tanning Tax NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Obama administration is turning up the heat on tanning salons across the country with the passage of its new health care bill. To help fund the $940 billion health care overhaul, a 10% tax on individuals receiving indoor tanning services was tacked on, and the initiative is expected to generate $2.7 billion over ten years. Cutting out the 'Botax' The 10% tanning tax has replaced the 5% tax on cosmetic surgery that was originally included in the bill. Rating: 5
