TAXING THE OBESE

Hate to say I told you so, but since the last major tax increase on cigarettes I've been saying it's only a matter of time before the government went after fat people.  Obesity causes cancer, heart disease and diabetes, so it's no stretch of the imagination that they would start taxing people who are obese for the same reasons they tax smokers.

Arizona is now proposing a $50 tax on people who are obese.  It has not yet passed, but I'm thinking it's only a matter of time.  Seems like the U.S. government is looking for every possible way to increase tax revenues to pay for their overspending.  I heard on the radio they've even proposed a 10 cent per roll tax on toilet paper.  Time to stop the madness and stop the spending!!!
