Tanning salon patrons see red over increased cost get tan

As a part of ObamaCare, a vanity tax has been leveled at tanning salons the beginning of this month.

Tanning salon owners must now charge a 10 percent tax every time a customer uses a UV tanning bed and it's all in an effort to raise money to help pay for ObamaCare and to discourage Americans from subjecting themselves to cancer-causing UV rays.

The tanning industry is just the latest victim of government paternalism, putting it in the same category as cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, sodas, trans fats, junk food and other targets of so-called "sin taxes."
