Jonathan Gruber, long credited as the architect of Obamacare, once discussed the necessity of taxing fat people by body weight in order to fight obesity.

He would have a huge tax bill if the contents of his head were considered.

Body weight or BMI? There is a difference, pinhead.

Death by dieting, the new genocide brought to you by obamacare.
To: Olog-hai
I would love for that to happen! That would be a big final nail in the coffin of Obamacare.
Also, I’d love to see the political gymnastics liberals would have to go through to exempt certain ethnicities, some of which have higher rates of obesity than others.

Well, most of the people on welfare are exempt from taxes anyway, being below the minimum income level.

The EXEMPT would not be under this, of course.
Nor Moslems since America, both without and within,
is now the Defender of the Moslem Brotherhood
and other Islamic terror organizations in their
quest to invade, conquer and destroy America.

LOL! Cant wait for the “fat shaming” feminists to WEIGH in on this.
To: Olog-hai
I think we should impose a tax according to the number of taxes a person supports.
Put a checklist on insurance forms and watch how fast taxes go away.
