But yea, I don't mind a reasonable tax on elective cosmetic work. (and yes, I have had a small amount of work done and will have more as I age).

If you have enough money to shell out for cosmetic surgery, you should be paying tax on it. How selfish can we be? This isn't a matter of discriminating against aesthetics, it's a tax that should have been in place years ago. As an American, I'm ashamed at how we allow people to die for lack of basic health care.

There are lots of people with mild-moderate disfigurements who benefit greatly from being able to correct them.

No offense but it is pretty standard practice to quote sources of pictures used from other sites, especially if you site runs ads, and takes in revenue.
