Lets see, BLoomberg makes it illegal to buy 2 liter sodas with a pizza, S.F. in calf. makes it illegal to buy meat on Mondays, now this. Why do people want the government in their lives?

@vinylcarwraps,

I always paid federal taxes in my 27 years in the army. I guess I paid your taxes too. Well, that's obama's wealth redeistribution plan I guess.

I support this law.....tanning does nothing but harm for most people but it is ironic that its the small gov GOP thats passing it...... Grand Union February 27, 2013 12:32 p.m. Report abuse

LOL thanks for knowing when its best for people to tan. Thank you for saving people from themselves. Now get on the corner and start hading out umbrellas. The SUN is out todday!!! AHHHHH make a law. You can only be out in the sun 2 hours per day. LOL

goldenosprey,

You'll wish you hadn't said that once obama care is in full fling and you're paying out of the wazoo for below standard healthcare, unless, you're one of the 47% Proud Black Conservative February 27, 2013 3:44 p.m. Report abuse

Im in the Air FOrce. When I was active how much Fed taxes should I pay? I remember when I was 19 I paid zero Fed taxes and Bush gave me a $300 check. Never heard the word "socialism" then. Odd. He was re-elected. LOL I love the two party sheep.

Where were these liberals when obama slapped a 20% tax on tanning beds to pay for his obama care? Proud Black Conservative February 27, 2013 2:01 p.m. Report abuse

Your comment has nothing to do with the fact that Republicnas are creating laws to protect people from themselves. Should we put tanning meters on beaches and have cops patrol the meters so people dont sit out in the sun too long? When does it stop? The GOP banned areolas and a shot down a medical plant. LOL a PLANT!!! Maybe you should get off the ideologies and turned towards liberty. This law is BIG gov. Period. Lib this lib that, Cons this Cons that. Divisive people.

This progressive was saying 20% was not enough. Skin Cancer costs the rest of us who use sunscreen money when I gotta subsidize The Situation's premiums.

It's also ironic this legislation is opposed by conservatives who tend to be old and white - the ones most threatened by the sun's rays, and in their minds, anyway, dark skin.
