A tattoo tax would bring in more money than a tanning tax.

Good, glad to hear it. Why people find it necessary to give themselves skin cancer is beyond understanding. Medicare just paid to have mine removed so the government does have a vested interest in cutting down on people going to tanning booths. If a tax helps with that, great.

I suppose I shouldn't be surprised to see people in favor of social engineering through taxation, but it irks me in a bad way when the .gov tries to either rid people of "bad" habits or make a buck off of those habits.

Do if conservatives don't approve of anal sex and the health risks with it, it would be okay for them to tax it?

wow, do you have things backwards

the sun can give you skin cancer...tanning beds actually help prevent it

ever heard of tanning for MEDICAL REASONS such as SAD, or psoriasis, or for vitamin d deficiency,,,, or breast cancer fighting abilities?????

If you "buy" anal sex, that's considered soliciting to prostitution. That's a crime.
