This tax is really a double whammy for women who will be paid less at work and taxed more for these procedures. <br />Perhaps we should tax something used equally by men and women???BubsPinkTacohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04957852270918844086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21714925.post-91368068482742572642009-08-05T23:25:42.835-04:002009-08-05T23:25:42.835-04:00I wouldn't consider this tax a sin tax.

It could be an attempt to make sure higher income taxpayers are paying more taxes (to the extent that those with higher incomes are more likely to have plastic surgery.)cheddarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21714925.post-68732782692230729772009-08-05T19:27:43.987-04:002009-08-05T19:27:43.987-04:00I think we should apply a special tax on the manuf...I think we should apply a special tax on the manufacturers of foods that don't meet some minimum nutrient content threshold.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21714925.post-42295046032848971152009-08-04T10:52:00.130-04:002009-08-04T10:52:00.130-04:00There are 2 motivations converging here: trying to...There are 2 motivations converging here: trying to provide health care on the cheap; and, punishing people for unauthorized,selfish and unpious behavior. Instead of accepting that everyone should pay for a common good, we try to force some group of "unworthy" people to shoulder the burden. I'm already peeved that we levy cigarette taxes to fund health care for children, and I am not a smoker. Winston Churchill said that you can depend on Americans to do the right thing, after they have exhausted all other possibilities. Proper funding of health care is another case in point.Witch Hazelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21714925.post-23826647069874239652009-08-04T08:29:03.945-04:002009-08-04T08:29:03.945-04:00I totally agree here that it should not be conside...I totally agree here that it should not be considered as "sin tax".Cosmetic Surgery makes people healthier and it should not be treated as a burden on the healthcare system.Cosmeticsurgeryguidehttp://www.cosmeticsurgeryguide.ienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21714925.post-19540939126792163012009-08-02T19:43:00.294-04:002009-08-02T19:43:00.294-04:00Washington is completely out of control
