Former Obama Adviser: We Should Tax Fat People By Body Weight

Careful what you wish for!

With criminals like Obungo and company in charge, I guaran-damn-tee that before long, anyone weighing more than twiggy, of any height and build will be taxed up the wazzooo!!

In other words, everybody.

Note how Gruber bounces between “fat” and “BMI”. Going by the latter, any muscular types would be subject to his “tax”.

He would have a huge tax bill if the contents of his head were considered.

I think you worded that exactly backwards. He would have a zero bill.

No, they are going to access your electronic medical record and tax you through your tax returns.

Whut?

I have had a medical condition for about 4 years now which makes me about 11% under my ideal healthy weight.
Do I get a tax credit?

I’m sure Holder’s people would get an exemption.

First we need to start “taxing the hell” out of politicians. All politicians.

Funny how “taxing” as an adjective means “wearying”, “burdensome” and “onerous”.

Remember what happened the last time a politician threatened to punish the populace with scorpions?

If some form of national health care is inevitable and never going to go away, I would advocate some form of this tax. My idea would be that everyone reports to the local HS track once a year, and if you can run three miles within 25 minutes, you get free health insurance, the rest pay for theirs. If you do not like the premiums, drop the donut and start training for the next year.
