Viagra Tax or uh oh, quick call Capitol Hill

Hold on just one sec Mr. Lawmaker, rumor has it the health care bill might include a special tax on Botox. Getting rid of those nasty wrinkles and furrowed brows will be even more expensive. Looking pensive can be appropriate at times but not 24/7. Nancy Pelosi this is a tax that would wreak havoc on your face babycakes. Quick you might want to take Diane Feinstein with you to your dermatologist for a "perk me up" before it's too costly. Botox tax is disturbing and makes me wonder if it isn't just a teensie weensie bit discriminatory. Besides which in this economic downturn dermatologists are suffering too.

I can't help but wonder what's going on. In my opinion if the nasty folks on Capitol Hill are going to make women pay extra for vanity why not men? I say bring on the Viagra tax. If women have to age naturally so do men. Let's once again live by the laws of that trickster Mother Nature. It's a whole new way to go "green" and will be a hell of a lot cheaper. I'm sorry boys but erectile dysfunction over 50 isn't a medical condition it's called aging. I know there are serious conditions that beg these wonder drugs and if you have a note from your urologist you get the little blue pills with no extra tax. As for the rest, "put the special blue m&ms down" and party on.

Equal opportunity taxation sure is fun.

uh oh - now you've done it! Don't you know that every member of congress uses viagra; or at least needs it. If they have to pay tax on it - it's going to piss them off. You should not insist or even recommend it.

On the other hand I haven't seen many of their wives so they may just say, "Honey I'm not going to pay a tax just to ****" It would save them from a lot of disagreeable activity.

Yet on the other hand (aside from the afore mentioned "other hand") it's probably covered in THEIR health care insurance - which they will never give up. The "national one" is not for the leaders of the nation - just the people of the nation - the ones that pay for everything including the leaders salaries, retirement plans and airplanes.
