I'm revisiting my idea for a fatty tax, that is a tax imposed on people who are overweight.

pros

Fat people will want to lose weight
They will spend more time in the gym and less time walking slowly in front of you
More money for education, health, blah blah blah
The world will be nicer to look at
People will eat less, which will help the environment
When they die, it will take less energy to dispose of their body
Less custom coffins which cost families a fortune
Less people calling cabs to bring them McDonalds
Less pollution in general, and when they are buried their body will pollute the earth less.
People won't perspire so easily after walking short distances

cons

fat people whining about unfair tax

cry about it, tax isn't fair. rich people are taxed more than poor people so why can't fat people be taxed more than regular people?

Vote for me, World President 2014

What about all those BBW fans...for the love God thing of them?

How about Dwarf tax relief? I'd be all up for that. Those little fuckers take up less room and less resources that us gig folk - they should be rewarded for it. It the same way a fat person should be made pay for 2 airline seats then 2 midgets should be allowed share one if they want..

Its gotta work both ways especially since all those midget actors have been put out of work since they have been replaced with CGI..

i dont need to be taxed - i just need to exercise more.

mandate the everyone - by law - has to exercise 1 hour a day and gyms are free - run by the government.

people who smoke cigarettes should pay 20$ worth of tax per deck of smokes to go towards picking up all the litter they create and to put out the fires they start.

(not even going to bother mentioning the health reasons)

also - baby tax .... people should have to pay to have babies.
if you cant afford them, you cant get them.

why is it so difficult to buy a car for some people yet you can have the most expensive thing in the world for free. the one thing that demands you're responsible above all others.

I eat as much as anyone I know, often more. If I am hungry I eat, if I'm sad I eat. Luckily atm my metabolism is keeping up. When it stops i will work out more. No big deal.

I just think that morbidly obese people often have reasons for not trying to lose weight. Like complaining it hurts to exercise, but that will never get better if they don't lose weight. Or some overweight people stay overweight to drive away their friends because their friends are busy playing sports or hiking and they can't so they stay home. And that's what t hey want.

A tax would help people who are making excuses to lose weight, cause most of their excuses are all in their head or psychological.

Depends on if the kids were buying the food themselves and stuffing it down on the way home from school or if their folks were putting it in the cupboard and giving the kid unlimited access.

Right, MD?

while that makes more sense, since I wouldn't be able to prove anything I would just tax the parents regardless of how the child gets the food. the tax can be cut by 50% if they choose to invest money into a gym membership/yoga class/karate class etc.

There should be a redneck tax. They take up too much prison space, often commit welfare and their cars frequently don't reach emission standards and they make bargoing or living in Pennsylvania an irritation. A formal section on the 1040 should be written up by Jeff Foxworthy so we have sound standards for redneckdom because some people who like wrestling are smart. Also, hate groups should be taxed for disseminating racist speech. They should have the first amendment, but they should have to pay for maintaining a dangerous lifestyle. Also, the guys from Good Charlotte should be fed to each other.

You know...I take care of a lady that is like 300 plus pounds with parkinsons and diabetes. She's only like 65/67. She can do SO MUCH for herself but chooses not to. She makes herself that way. She does NOT follow any diet, she's constantly stuffing her face with goodies. She sits all day in her room, in her recliner chair..never goes anywhere unless she actually doesn't refuse therapy once in a blue moon.. Before she would walk the few steps to her bed with her walker and it was no big deal....Now she wants us to use a LIFT on her..A mechanical lift that picks her up from her recliner chair..to move her over to her bed that is less than a foot away. Bullshit man. It makes me sick to think that there are so many people that can walk that are too lazy too and then there are people that can't even stand, that would kill too. I don't get how people are like that. If she wasn't so fat she wouldn't be in a nursing home. She's evil and manipulative..She'll lie about anything at any given chance. She makes up stories to get people fired...She pulled a pocket knife on someone...but the facility is afraid of her because she used to be a social worker and she'll get anyone fired in a heartbeat. So we have to put up with her bullshit everyday.. ahhh I hate it.

Fair enough. That is true. Hillbilly is a better term as rednecks can be helpful gearheads who will sell you cars they reassembled for fun for 400 bucks, guitar prodigies and purveyors of some damn fine barbecue. Also, without rednecks nobody would have thought to put peanut butter in everything. A gang tax is a good idea, particularly if it goes to pay for victim's rights initiatives.

Gangbangers are ghetto people in gangs who have turf wars and shoot each other and deal drugs.

Gangbang is when a bunch (at least 3?) of guys have sex with one girl at the same time, taking turns. It is often done by Gangbangers, but not necessarily.

I'm with Murderdoll. Fat people should be taxed as they overpopulate our hospitals with their obesity related ailments, raise the cost of health care, and encourage this behavior of overeating by their acceptance by society. Overeating is an addiction and these addicts should be treated like any other junkie.

Actually doing what I do, basically all the dirty work ,I don't get paid much at all. I make $9.25 an hr to take care of 16+ mean old people that like to fight you. Well, not all of them are like that but the majority I'd say. Nurses make anywhere from like $16-$30 maybe more to basically pass meds, change dressings, and chart. They actually are required to do more technically , patient care wise, but they think they don't have to. But my facility is pretty fucked up like that. We get no credit for what we do and yet we are what's keeping a lot of those people alive.

..............................................

Quit.

I don't want to quit because I've already been there 3 years and I'm about to go to nursing school so I can break free from being an underdog. Plus I do actually care for a lot of the people there and don't want to leave them despite having a burning hatred for one in particular. Also, I only work two days a week and I get paid full time for 32 hrs...I work two 12's on the weekend so I only have to put up with the insanity for 2 days a week.

EDIT:

No no, we should tax the people paying to watch gangbangs. Like a cigarette tax, it should be passed down to those who finance it.

And come on guys, fat people are not clogging up our health care system. Diabetes and heart disease are just a rampant among skinny folks and marathon runners for that matter. I would say half of the taxable fat people I know have tried 10x as hard to lose weight as I have. And probably 10x as hard as any of you reading this too. If someone is fat because they're just lazy, then sure go right ahead and tax them. But you can't punish someone because they don't fit your mold, some people are just fat. Some people are healthier fat, then they would be after destroying their bodies forcing themselves to lose weight.

That being said, lets also tax the Bulimic and anorexic people too. Hell, why not just have a hospitall tax. If you ever have to be hospitalised, your taxes will be increased 2 fold.

I was just answering Ferret's question. No, I don't think that should be taxed.

@Milktoaste
Sure, there are a lot of skinny people with diabetes, but type II diabetes is usually acquired by fat people. It's not that only fat people get certain diseases, but when certain diseases are usually acquired by complications of being overweight or by other diseases that are also complications of being overweight, I don't want to have to pay for them. Being a few pounds overnight is not a big deal, but when your obesity (and I'm talking obese and not overweight here) is making things hard for the people who actually car about their health, I have a problem with that.

You say I shouldn't punish people for fitting my mold, well if that mold is being healthy and not destroying your body, then yeah they should be punished. Maybe then they'll learn what they are doing to themselves. My mom is a food addict and I've watched her health and quality of life deteriorate over the years. She has type II diabetes and whole other laundry list of health problems all related to her weight and lack of exercise that constantly puts her in and out of the hospital, most of which is now irreversible. Not to mention all the medications she has to take four times a day. And she still has to have her potato chips and ice cream and whatever else she is jonesing for that is bad for her.

I just think it's sad that there's so much gluttony in our part of the world and yet other places they have learn to only eat the little amount of food they have when they need it. As The Doctor once put it, half the world is too fat and half the world is too thin. We eat because we can or we're bored or we just like food while they merely eat to stay alive.

Hey Paps,,

I totally agree, if someones is fat because they over indulge and sit around all day, tax away. I've known people who piss and shit in a bucket next to their chair so they didn't have to go down stairs. People like that need to be taxed. On the other hand, I used to play baseball with a fat kid. He loved sports, and he was even one of the better players on our team. Sadly by highschool his knees were totally shot because of his weight- he shouldn't be taxed.

Doc Faustus

When I was 17, I decided to do something about my weight. First I tried a 900 calorie diet as recommended by my doctor. I almost vomited on my English teacher and was so weak my vision got blurry. On the day of two tests, I was functionally illiterate. I had to quit that diet. Then, I walked twenty four miles a day to lose weight. Went for 293 to 226 by my eighteenth birthday. But one day my legs gave way since I had been walking for a month and a half on a stress fracture. Told myself not to be a pussy and that the pain was natural. I fell. I landed on my right wrist so badly there were bits of street inside. Ended up in a wheelchair for four months and my body was never the same after that. My left leg still hurts if I tax it too much and a lot of exercises have become difficult because one of the bones in my hand never healed. Pushups for one thing are excruciating. I went up to 270 again over the course of a few years. Recently, I made it back down to 228. Not everybody who's overweight is that way out of sheer indolence, just as not everyone who's poor is that way because they're stupid or a junky. Fruits and vegetables are getting pricey while a cheesburger is a dollar. Some people will BA's and higher degrees are living in tents. Get some perspective, people.

I have a friend who is probably one of the sportiest guys I know. He's my age and does a lot of working out. He already has a relatively clear six pack. Anyway, he didn't go to the gym for about a month and suddenly started complaining about getting fatter (though he looked no different). His Dad's a doctor and the two of them came up with a diet plan. It consisted of having nothing but water for four days and then for the next three having only small portions of fruits and vegetables, then slowly building it up from there. He says he lost quite seven pounds in just over a week but I dread to think what that did to his health.

milktoaste

It's possible to bring your body fat so low that your skin actually starts to look and feel like an onion skin. Such is the case with the bodybuilders you see on TV with the rediculous muscles. However, even trained professionals can only maintain such low bodyfat levels for a few days, before irreversible damage can start to occur. It's no easy task to get that 'cut', it takes months of training and weighing of food and excriment yadda yadda ya.
Drinking only water for 4 days sounds like a real good way to get an ulcer, or even kick start your body into survival mode-where you lose muscle instead of fat and your body stores everything you eat for the next couple days. Why not water and small portions of fruits and vegetables at the same time? It sounds like your friend needs to spend less time flexing in the mirror.

Hey Doc, Rednecks aren't all that bad- you must be thinking of drunken Hillbillies. And let's not just tax the racist hate groups, let's tax all gangbangers as well.

Redneck or hilllbilly sounds like a very racist term (to me) depending on someones socio/economical/geographic racist term....kinda like a white version of nigger.

I'm irish so i'm not 100% sure of USA slang but this definally sounds like a derogatory ethnic slang aimed torwards 'lower/rural/working class' white folks..

milktoaste

05-16-2009, 05:12 AM

Hey ferrot,

The terms actually describe two groups of people in a similar region, with very different backgrounds. Rednecks were a group of non-union workers who formed an army to literaly battle the union-busters(who were paid soldiers by the owners of certain very corperations who refused to recognise the unions. The men wore red hankercheifs around there neck as identification and the term redneck was born. They were considered hard working people who simply wouldn't put up with no shit. Even if that meant marching to gun fight they simply couldn't win.

Hillbillies were families who lived in the Southern Apalachan mountains before the Tenesse river damn project came through. Hillbillies lived in there own little world, seperated from society. With there seperation came inbreading and low test scores, they were also cheep and hard working sorce of labor for large southern projects-such as the many damns built on the Tennesse River.

Put the two together and you got NASCAR and country music.

As far as racism, both hillbillies and rednecks have probably harbored more racism than any other social group. And they are both proud to be called either one.
