It would put a dent in the consumption of fast food by all these obese people walking around. My tax dollars should not support you being too fat to work and then pay for your gastric bypass surgery...

We should tax message board threads.

The shittier the thread, the higher the tax rate.

Won't matter. People are addicted. There are several reasons for this. People who want fast food will still buy it regardless of price.

Yes. Let’s make things more expensive than they already are. That’ll help.

There are eight counties that implemented a sugar tax on soda several years ago and its shown to have worked in lowered consumption.

That’s already what’s happening. The healthy are paying higher premiums because of the fatties and smokers.

You’re welcome.

No, that’s dumb for a lot of reasons

But things like air planes or stadium seating where they clearly are taking up two spots should require 2 seat purchases

Fast food is already expensive enough, but I agree they should pay a "fat tax". Not just the people who buy it but also the people who put effort into serving people shite, they should pay as well.


The average joe pays the price even though he didn't produce the garbage food, nor did he consume the food. America is disgusting.

Food stamps should prohibit even moderate sugar consumption. You're adding future healthcare costs to the taxpayers every time you allow someone on food stamps to purchase big sugar sodas and other high sugar garbage snacks.

There should be NO fat people on welfare.

We should give citizens a tax break for being in shape.

What birthed you and your ideology, because it certainly was NOT America.

Then you really must enjoy paying taxes to the shitty Healthcare system in this country. IT EFFECTS YOU whether you like it or not.

So your answer is to pay even more taxes?

Do you really believe one tax will alleviate another tax? It will just give the government more to spend.

If he's not buying fast food, how is he paying fast food taxes?

I'm for it. Use the money to subsidize medicaid and reduce the taxes that I pay.
