Quote
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.

“Ultimately, what may be needed to address the obesity problem are direct taxes on body weight,” Gruber wrote in an essay for the National Institute for Health Care Management in April 2010, just months after helping design ObamaCare with the president in the Oval Office and during the period in which he was under contract as an Obama administration consultant.
   

I wonder if the DU'ers are on to this one.
Here is how I picture them;

It will never happen....there are more fat democrats than there are fat republicans.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

There are parts of Obamacare that allow companies to charge fat people, smokers and a few other things affected by lifestyle choices higher fees for insurance.  Since Obamacare was ruled a tax, it is a "fat tax".

Exactly why it will happen.
Libs don't pay taxes.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
