You've heard of the "greedy hand" of gub'ment (pronounce with a Michigan Militia accent): the ruling class will tax anything. So much so that we Libertarians used to joke that soon there would be a special tax placed on the beautiful and the smart, since they have an unfair advantage over the slovenly and the stupid.
Well, it's happening. The Feds put a 10 percent tax on tanning booth sessions. "How can they tax me for trying to be pretty?" asks Jenna Goldschmidt in today's New York Post. The Tax Foundation lampoons the tax calling for an "Organized Resistance Against New tax on Gamma Ray Exposure" (ORANGE).
