I have two problems with this story. First, that they are making it seem like NO ONE knew about this tax. I did...and if I can find out with relatively little effort, it can't be that bad, take little goggles off and read the newspaper. Second, people are complaining that revenue is going to go down because of the tax on tanning. Right, just like Phillip Morris is going bankrupt because of taxes on cigarettes. People do not go tanning because it is necessary to survive, they tan because they have heaps of disposable income (and time) to waste on sitting under some Fast Food Grade UV lamps.
I find these sob stories extremely hard to believe. Better luck next time.
Besides, these taxes are just an investment in the melanoma treatment you'll need by the time you get on Medicare. It's like that movie "Pay it Forward."
