First, we break into the thread, with a responder to other posts who said the following:

According to the formulas in the bill itself, my familys health care costs are going to go from about $5600 annually ($100 biweekly + $3000 I sit aside in a medical spending account) to somewhere between $72-7500. My company has already informed me that they're just going to pay the penalty and dump Blue Cross, so my family is headed for the government plan and theres nothing I can do about it.

Wealthy people often hire people to do "menial" stuff for them. They hire accountants to manage thier taxes and savings and checking accounts. They hire nannies and butlers and chefs. Why? One, they can afford it, and two, often their time is far better used at generating income. Let's imagine that I help businesses improve productivity. I spend 3 days at a business's main location, and use my observational powers, gained experience, and "through much effort" gained knowledge, to improve how a business uses people, resources, even improve quality and manufacturing efficiency.

Word to the GOP: Either get your act together, or the whole danged nation becomes the Tea Party, and we elect people who have both a spine, and at least some FAINT grasp of how to successfully ACCOMPLISH things, and you become as irrelevant as Pelosi's promises or Barack's campaign speeches. Let me explain.

I hereby respectfully suggest that from this moment on, no salon offer tanning services. That's right, no further tanning services. None. Zilch. What, then, to do with all those machines and space? I don't know, I was thinking that the Salon install speakers inside, and play "mood music". And then charge for "Stress Isolation and Sound and Skin stimulation".

Change the rates slightly, never refer to it as "tanning" again.

And, further, NEVER PAY A FREAKING DIME OF TAX.
