Yes, the helpful government has found itself another witch. Let's tax the ever loving shit out of those shitstains, the fatties. After all, the "poll" shows that 60% of respondents agree they should have to pay. As we all know, whenever the majority agrees on something, we should do it.
Of course, the founding fathers knew that the "majority" can be made to agree to a lot of idiotic ideas (witchcraft, slavery, etc) so they wrote the Constitution so that the government cannot take your freedom. That doesn't seem to have stopped the libs though, does it.

If anti-tobacco campaigns are to be the model, those sales taxes could be hefty: The World Health Organization has recommended that tobacco taxes should represent between two-thirds and three-quarters of the cost of, say, a package of cigarettes; a 2004 report prepared for the Department of Agriculture suggested that, for "sinful-food" taxes to change the way people eat, they may need to equal at least 10% to 30% of the cost of the food.
Yes, let's use the tobacco model. You know ... where we raise the taxes on witches to ludicrous levels and then squander the money. Very successful model. I think the taxes on a pack of cigarettes is over $1. I think the tax on a Big Mac or a Coke ought to be $1 also. It won't affect me you see and I could give a shit less about you burger/soda eaters.
While we're at it, let's put a big tax on joggers and cyclists. They're the ones sucking in air and breathing out carbon dioxide (causing global warming) at the highest rates. Don't worry, dumb shits. You'll be a witch before long.
And here's the payoff: Conservatively estimated, a 10% tax levied on foods that would be defined as "less healthy" by a national standard adopted recently in Great Britain could yield $240 billion in its first five years and $522 billion over 10 years of implementation -- if it were to begin in October 2010. Wow. That's a lot of wealth for Congress to "spread around." I'll bet they can't WAIT to get their hands on it, launder it through the government, and start doling it out to their favorite campaign donors in the form of government jobs, grants, and contracts.
There can be little doubt that lobbyists for the food, restaurant and grocery industries would come out swinging on any of these proposals. But the report cites evidence of a turning political tide for proposals that would hold the obese and other consumers of nutritionally suspect food accountable for their choices. More here:
Yes. We've GOT to hold witches "accountable for their choices." I am SICK TO DEATH of people making "choices" (exercising their freedom) without having to pay taxes through the nose.
You know the part I like best? It will hit the poor the hardest. I'm sick and tired of the poor anyway.
