NEW TAX IDEA GAINS WEIGHT

A new tax idea circulating around Washington is gaining favor. It is called the "FAT TAX." The idea is that you will be taxed according to how many pounds you are overweight. Not only will this encourage people to lose weight, but it will reduce the national cost of health care and will reduce the energy costs of hauling lard butts around. Because the affluent are can afford to eat more, this tax will also help to redistribute the wealth. Weigh-ins will be held on the Friday preceding every April 15th, which will be declared a national holiday known as FAT FRIDAY.
