    Default Fat Tax

    http://www.fattaxfacts.org/index.html

    C'mon now, I want to hear opinions!



    "Under the IHA's plan, Americans of all shapes and sizes—yes, including you—will be required to present themselves every year (sometime between January 1 and April 15) at an official government weigh station. This weigh-in will establish your body-mass index (BMI). If that number is 25.5 or higher—officially overweight—you will have to pay a federal "fat tax" on top of you normal income tax. The exact amount would depend on how overweight you are and how much you earn."

    I think it's a joke.

    How about if you are underweight? Does the IRS send you a check and say "eat up!" ?

    LOL

    This was the April Fool's article in Esquire, and was actually pretty funny.

    That's where I originally read it. Crap! I fell for a damned April Fool's joke! Shame on me.
