Health care reform is expensive and congress has been debating various ways to pay for the plan. The latest proposal is a 5 percent tax on cosmetic surgery. Dubbed the “botax,” the plan could generate billion over 10 years.

I love America want everything and dont a want to give anything…and love the democratic moto; “It’s not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.” So whats that mean we must give to our country and get nothing in return…what do democrats want everything from the government and no taxes…..tax the rich no tax everyone pay for something America your credit card has a limit.
there is a cure for this monetary policy, “we have not yet begun to tax”
something should be done about the mandatory lobotomies required of politicians.
The chuckling guest on the show, while talking about theft of peoples assets got his lobotomy for entry into US media.
The only reason cosmetic surgery is getting better and cheaper every year is because government stays out of it. If you control it like the rest of healthcare, it’ll be as bad as the rest of healthcare.
plastic surgery is not health care. TAX this shit. It causes health problems. Only an insecure moron have plastic surgery except those who have lost a breast to cancer etc. For this kind plastic surgery the tax should be zero.
why do they need to tax people to fix a problem that would be better off having no government involvement in the first place? just ponder
This luxury tax wouldn’t hurt the shallow mind’s purse…
Obama should raise taxes on the rich 75% rate and create youth brigades to chop down forest and build wind mills.
and those who don’t like it get sent to “racist re-education camps”
LOL!!
“They looking for things to tax they haven’t tax yet”… hihihi
“I agree with it (botax) simply because I do not need plastic surgery”…hihihi
It seems that RT has very unfortunate hand when picking up their guests in last couple of weeks. Please leave stupid jewish crap a’la Budowsky to the Fox News.
5% tax on lobotomy will never be debated in the congress. Politicians hate paying taxes.
hell the odd to tak botax even more
bull
this guy is an idiot, “have to hurt somebody to help someone out?” wtf?
Another example of how democracy works. The majority plunders the minority, i.e. mob rule.
“Ha-ha-ha” weird laughter
More americans are going overseas to avoid the tax. The rich are not stupid!
WTG Washington!
Ugh, cut spending, don’t keep taxiing.
nobody imagined this happening because this is the biggest non-sense people have heard and will experience. Well how about taxing exclusive toilets in expensive restaurants and hotels? It’s possible to get a lot more money out of there.
first bitches
