Obviously, people who pay higher tax rates are more likely to have a healthier lifestyle:
better diet,
safer cars,
less drugs,
less dangerous behavior.
This is a silly study.
I agree this is a silly study.
Wealthy people tend to take care of themselves better, physically.
When I go to Walmart, almost everyone there is fat.
When I go to the country club, almost everyone there is thin and fit.
It’s a “class” (not that country club people are better, but skew wealthy, for how I am using “class” here) thing to be thin and fit.
It’s also why Gucci clothes (or whatever) tend to stop at size 8 or so.
