I think we should tax unhealthy lifestyles that pose a greater burden on the health care system. We already tax smoking, so we should tax boozing, driving too fast, eating foods unapproved by democrats, buttsecks, fatties, people who fly in big airplanes across the country, humvees, and the military.

That way we can spread misery around to everyone equally, rather than having the healthy able bodied people paying for everyone else.

Where is the problem if those healthy able bodied people have enough money to pay for it whereas the poor bums don't?

You take care of your old grandma struggling to make the best of her last years right? You take care of veterans right? You take care of old people right?

Now why not the poor?
