Is the proposed, "Botax", fair?

Some fans of botox, mostly women, are crying foul over a plan by democrats to tax cosmetic procedures. Some see the tax as a way to hike revenue to pay for the healthcare overhaul, but others say it is just unfair.

Consider this: 60% of people who get cosmetic procedures make less than $90,000. That doesn't exactly jive with the idea that the tax would target the "wealthy". Still, it would bring in billions at a time when the government is desperate for cash. 

So what do you think? Give me your feedback. If you think botox and other procedures are just a luxury, what the story below by one my colleague, Shana Franklin.
