Tax every over weight person an extra $2000.00 per year and give everyone NOT over weight $1000.00. Anyone on the government tit has one year to trim down or we cut them off. It's time for some tough love. Besides, I can use a extra thousand.

The surtaxes and credits should be per pound, not per person.

So we're going to give the folks who have gone to drastic measures to "get" thin (stomach stapling or anorexia), tax credits because they are "more" healthy than those with extra lbs.

Truth is, weight is just one measurement of health, and in and of itself, without considering other factors, IMHO, is not a very good measurement.

Transfer of wealth from the fat to the skinny...women and children, hardest hit.
