If you're like me fat people disgust you. They are a drain on our economy and a danger to society. So why has congress be so slow to enact a fat person tax?

Look im all for smaller government but this fattie problem has gotten out of hand. Did you know over half of our nations youth has weight issues? How are we supposed to have universal health care when fat people are going to destroy it?

That's why I'm proposing a fat person tax. Fatties will have to pay double the medicare tax until they meet government requirements for fitness. And we can be flexible. For instance if a person can bench press 300 pounds then they should be exempt because they've shown a genuine interest in fitness and maybe can't lose the fat because of genetics. I'm fine with that.

What im not fine with are these people who are 220lbs, eat two cheeseburgers a day, and have no muscle. It's a disgrace. If they're not willing to dedicate 3 hours a week to improving their body they have to be sick in the head.

Please, for the sake of national security (fat people are useless in combat), for the sake of our health care system (fat people are literally dead weight), and for the sake of our children (fat people spawn fat children) ask your congressman to enact a fat tax.

Fat people must be held accountable and their refusal to get in shape is an act of treason.

Yeah, because they're being raised by useless parents. It's a family issue if anything.

How do they drain the resources if they're healthy?

I say we enact either tax sometime around when Amplifier responds to his dead pixels thread.

I'm not in favor of taxes, they should pay higher health insurance rates just like smokers do.

You do realize that many elitist skinny bastards would be fat if they had the same metabolism as these fat people?

I know people who make fun of fat people, and then go, man I can eat and eat and eat and not gain any weight, im trying to put on some weight!

The body will only last for so long, then you do hip, knee replacement etc. At least the smokers drop dead before they bleed the health care system.

Even better, they'll live longer so we can collect more taxes off their sorry tofu-eating, bicycling, track running, vegan, non-smoking asses.

Still bleed the health care system just as much with all their problems caused by cigarettes. Cancer, lung problems, etc.

Dunno, but medicare/caid has gotten worse even though there are less smokers. People live longer and a healthy person will run to the doc for a runny nose.

don't hate the fat people, they already aren't enjoying sex, you should feel bad for them.

in the words of my friend "lock up all the fat people in a room, and have them eat each other."

it's okay if you're jolly big. but if you are obesely overweight, like many americans, come on there's a problem there.

I once went to a brunch buffet with my family (ya, already asking for trouble there) and when I got in line for my food, this fat bitch behind me kept bumping into me. She apparently wasn't aware of her girth because everytime I moved forward so that her fvcking gut wasn't touching me (*shudder*), she'd close the distance. Just can't wait to start stuffing your face, can you fatty? :|

That said, fat/unhealthy people will soon be padding the college savings of my future children (as well as my private account)... so I say let them enjoy their slothful, gluttunous lives.

Why fat people specifically? Why not also target people who smoke? Those who do drugs? Those who drink too much alcohol? Young people with cars?

And whilst I am not an obese person, this thread, and many of its participants, makes me sick.

:thumbsdown:

so in the same way that the OP hates fat people, you hate people who hate others, since they "make you sick". hate hate hate. everybody hates something.

Umm, did you miss the memo? They already tax alcohol, cigarettes etc.
psst: http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...atid=38&threadid=1904440&enterthread=y

Cars have tax too, and young people pay extra for their insurance due to increased risk.
