Tax overweight people by the pound. The more overweight you are, the more tax you pay.
That would be more effective than the present plan.
Ha ha!!! Yeah buddy!
As far as taxes go.I don't know of all of them, but I don't mind paying state tax, and I don't mind paying tax on gas. That money goes towards maintaining the state and roads...no problems here. But social security? I don't want to pay that, and besides SS is on it's way down. And property tax? I strongly dislike property tax. Taxing people for a place to live? A place to start a business?? Doesn't sound free to me. And Sales tax on food? That REALLY bugs me. Why should we pay tax for food? The government doesn't give us that food, companies and farmers do. Does tax on food go to the government agencies that govern food in stores? Maybe so, but it doesn't strike me as being right. Now, I really have no argument to defend me and what I have just said, so if you want to argue.....I can't help you.
