Obama's 10 Percent Solution

The Obama administration has solved the whole health care funding crisis. It's the 10 percent solution! Effective today, all indoor tanning salons are required to charge a 10 percent tax on service fees. Thank god. I was starting to really worry. After all, tanners are the primary cause of excessive insurance premiums, lack of coverage for the poor, and the abuse of our medical services.

Wait, I just thought of something. What about the tanning salon owners? Let's follow the map. Customers now have to pay more for services, so fewer people will want to spend more money for a tan. Also, the salon will have to pay a little more in expenses because they will have to administer the collection of the tax.

Hmmm- less business and higher expenses. That sounds like the salon owners will now bring in less money. Less money means cost cuts, like, lets say, cutting employee hours or laying off employees. These employees now have less money, and some won't be able to afford health care. They will have to rely on the Obama administration to provide health care for them. The more people that rely on the government for health care, the less likely they are to vote against those who give them the health care. Instant dependency class.

Coincidence? I don't think so.
