I was writing about tax incentives. I thought that you asserted that that tax incentives were a form of looting. I do not think that. I was not writing about jail time. In fact, I wrote that tax incentives are softer than things like jail time. We have a simple misunderstanding.

I would agree that in some cases, incarceration can be a form of extortion. However, that is not what is happening with regards to the obesity issue. I don't understand the relevance of your concerns.
