The US has 90 million obese people (BMI of 30+). Obese people on average require $1500 more per year in healthcare spending that non-obese people. That's $135,000,000,000 fat people add in excess cost to our healthcare system every year. Not to mention fat people are less productive.
I think we should institute a $1500 per year fat tax on the obese to recoup this money - most of which is subsidized by the healthy.

how do you expect anyone to take you seriously when you make up such unbelievable stuff like this.
What business do thay have throwing party after party, after party at the WH when they should be cutting discretionary spending from their own budget?
Its a Superbowl Party, I'm sure they can afford that, nobody's whining about who paid for it, why are you worried?
Are you going to ask me next how much I spent for our party on Sunday?
Do you want to see my menu?
Is there some kind of austerity program going on, and I failed to get the memo?

Liberals can be simply summed up as people who think they know better than most and feel that they need to dictate to others how they should live their lives, while they often do the complete opposite of what they preach. Liberals are all talk and no action, and their minds are always filled with starry-eyed, pie-in-the-sky ideas that don't reflect on reality and then get angry and bigoted when people point this out.
