Bulgaroctonus, your "Little bit of discrimination" need more research. 2 examples you might want to look into is the roots of the current day antismoking campaign. What has become a public distain for smoking and an all out ban in public facilities started out in the airline industries. Look where "Lets make a section where cigar smokers can enjoy a stogie without offending anyone. A smokers section on airplanes" has become business owners no longer have a right allow smoking in their private establishment.
You might want to look at the effect of the "Luxury Tax" on boat builders before you decide to institute a fat tax.
Your plan to tax/regulate "Bad" foods. First name a bad food. I will bet any that you can think of I probably eat on a daily/weekly basis. Tweekies, cake , pasta and nothing beats a warm honeybun and a cup of coffee. Will I be hit with a "Sin tax"?
If so, Why? FYI, I'm 40 something, 5'11", 155lbs and can still run a first class Marine Corps Physical Fitness test. 20 dead hang pullups, 100 situps and a 22 min 3 mile run. (Bad knees, multiable operations). Do I get taxed because some undisciplined F#ck is too short for his weight and cannot or will not police his self?
No thanks
And what will you do to motivate that bottom 50% that pays no taxes? Another Child tax credit that takes money I earned away from me and my children so some welfare/unskilled labored can get something back at the end of the year.
I'll pass
