NO NEW TAXES ON THE MIDDLE CLASS TO PAY FOR OBAMACARE......THAT IS UNLESS YOU'RE TOO WHITE

On July 1, 2010 the 10% arbitrary tax on tanning booths takes effect to help defray the cost of Obamacare.
So where is the outrage on this racist provision?  How does a tax on a racially identifiable class pass Constitutional muster? How about if the government next decides to place a tax on hair relaxers? How about a tax on all Kosher foods? How about a Kotex tax?

A law that permits the United States Federal Government to single out and tax a product or service based on the racial, ethnic or gender makeup of the targeted consumer is blatantly unconstitutional.
This is not a tax on cosmetic enhancement generally; but rather a penalty on a service used almost exclusively by people with white skin.

If the argument is made that tanning booths increase the risk of skin cancers and thereby increase the cost of health care; why are other similarly situated goods and services not treated equally?
Is the government going to tax beach resorts and the owners of swimming pools next?
Artificial sweeteners and red meats are known carcinogens as well so let's tax them too.....at least racism wouldn't rear it's ugly head.
What about fat people? Talk about high risk.

And  the Colonists were pissed off about a Tea Tax!
