[FONT=&quot]The Republican plan to repeal Obamacare was [/FONT]approved by the House Ways and Committee in the early Thursday[FONT=&quot], capping an 18-plus-hour debate over the legislation. And the marathon session was not without its testy moments.

[/FONT][FONT=&quot]Rep. Jason Smith, R-Mo., argued that the “tanning tax” imposed by former President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act unfairly targets American women who use indoor tanning beds.[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“What I found on Google is roughly 80 percent of who’s taxed is women,” Smith said. “Today is International Women Day. It’s interesting that no one is bringing that up.”[/FONT]

This is the GOP's own black hole moment. I can accept that oil companies hire people to at least sound educated on global warming. Groups concerned about global warming also have intelligent sounding people on the frontlines of the discussion. Then, we have all of the people who are actually elected, and say things like this.

I say we tax clouds who get in the way of the sun's rays while being over US soil. After all, they are putting a blockade on energy that we would get for free.

:lol:

Yes. I have heard of people that think that energy from the sun is free. Sounds cool. Isn't true. I am interested in the tanning tax, though. I cannot believe that we would discriminated against women in that way
