Fat people should pay additional taxes i.e. the long-term costs for
medical
treatment. Many of the morbidly obese are minorities, hence,"on the
dole."

I checked and many of the obese are descended from the illegal
migration of Europeans to North America from the 1600s on. These
dastardly lazy people even came here on ships rather than walking over
from Asia like the folks already here.
Personally, I favor increased taxes on stupid people. Have you filed
a return yet?

Cute, but have you looked at the lard-assed injun population of the
USA?
Negroes leading mestizoes by a fat fold or two. You must be a bible
thumper who loves all of "Gawd's chillin".

Ted, Ted, Ted. First of all, I am a part of the "injun" population
via my Cherokee ancestors who were too far back in the hills to escape
the no-expenses-paid forced march out west. The vast majority of
"injuns" and part "injuns" I know are actually rather lean. To be
fair, this seems to be due more to poverty than intentional dieting.
Most obese folks I know are descendants of northern European stock.
The black folks I know tend to a rather muscular build with little
body fat. (OK, I do know a few dark-skinned ladies with ample tracts
of land.)
I am not a bible thumper, nor do I especially like all of "Gawd's
chillin". Like a lot of folks born in the great state of West
Virginia I have a strong pre-christian Celtic streak in my religious
background. And I really dislike a lot of folks. I just try to give
everyone a chance to earn my dislike on an individual basis.

Actually I read once that since obese people die younger they actually
cost less on average than people who are healthier and live longer.
