Lets think this through
So, an idea to raise taxes by specifically going after elective cosmetic surgery raises 25% of its anticipated goal:
Malcolm Roth, vice president for health policy and advocacy at the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, said the New Jersey tax has only brought in about 25 percent of anticipated revenue since it was enacted in 2004 and imposes “another bureaucratic layer,” including questions of how to determine what procedures are eligible. Roth said lawmakers at the federal level could expect the same administrative headaches and lack of anticipated revenues if they went down the New Jersey route.
and the Congress is thinking about doing this nationally? Seriously, lets think this through. It didn’t work for boats and other luxury items and devasted the US Maritime industry in the process. I am sure it will work this time.
