Federal Cosmetic Surgery Tax? – WTF?

July 31st, 2009

NBC

Desperate to generate revenue to pay for a historically aggressive outlay of government spending, the Senate is considering taxing the vanity of Americans.

Senate Finance Committee discussed today levying a 10-percent tax on all cosmetic surgery procedures except those necessary for medical reasons, reports Congress Daily.

Ladies, they are coming for your Botox. It is pretty funny actually that no one seems to look at how much we are currently taxed before trying to come up with a reason we should be taxed more.

They tried this on the State level in New Jersey a few years ago and patients ran out of state. Make it federal and they will probably just go out of the country. Great idea.

Minnesota moves to Tax Cosmetic Surgery

February 20th, 2007

Denver Post


State Rep. Phyllis Kahn is pushing to extend Minnesota’s 6.5 percent sales tax to include cosmetic surgery and appearance-enhancing procedures including chemical skin peels, laser hair removal, cosmetic injections and spider vein treatments.

Anybody who has the money for plastic surgery can afford to pay the tax, said Kahn, a Minneapolis Democrat.

Do I hear a campaign slogan coming:

“Democrats will even tax your Botox.”

I knew I wasn’t ever going to be a Democrat. LOL.
