Is Obamacare Sexist?

The new law of the land, Obamacare, is riddled with taxes and new fees that will drain the public. One of these taxes, is an excess tax on tanning. So now every time you go to a tanning salon you are taxed.

Now, Founding Bloggers, (you should check them out) brought a very good point to the table.

Consider the following;

The left is always looking at the right to call them 'racist' and 'sexist' but if you take this tanning tax a few things can be drawn.

One, the vast majority of people who go tanning are female. Therefore this tax is then sexist since it is targeted at those who go tanning, ie, women.

Next, consider the fact that by far the vast majority of people who go tanning are white girls. Thus this would be considered racists since mainly only white people would be hit by this tax.

Now, of course this is just right wing hateful conspiracy stuff, but it is certainly something to think about. And this would also be a very important piece of commentary if it was in a conservative bill under a republican administration.
