With a little too much beer, might just bare more facts than you want, so
just bear down and be quiet.

Why not? They're taxing everything else. Like tanning salons. (Unless
you're a health club--they lobbied and got an exemption.) But a year
from now, how many tanning salons will still be in business?
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704334604575338921377737914.html

And who but white people use tanning salons? I expect if Congress put
a tax on hair-straightening products it'd immediately be labelled as
both racist and sexist. Isn't this tax equally racist?
