I stopped-by a place called Ryan's in Michigan City, Indiana today for lunch. It's one of those all-you-can-eat buffet-type places, with decent food.

The people in there were so morbidly obese I caught myself wondering why the government doesn't tax them according to gross weight, like it does trucks.

Maybe Baraq's "top doc" can weigh in on your tax question

I have no problem with that as long as all tax is done by how risky a behavior is.
Homosexuals, taxed more for risky behavior.
Smokers, too late, already taxed.
Skydiving, taxed.
Walking in Winter, taxed.
Swimming in the ocean, taxed.
Ect.

Hells bells let’s just tax everyone! /s/
