Regarding Taxes disadvantaging the poor, i absolutely agree and it is a pet annoyence of mine from Fuel taxes and road charging, to Cig taxes. Relatively speaking the richer you are the cheaper things get, surely that's a driving force in why "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer". This is why i don't think the Danes have got it right here and should look at the other end of the ladder to find compensation for Obese patients.

Also is Obesity an illness just like Anorexia? it's a relevant question as i would not want to tax people for being ill but as Pyramid says, maybe another thread




What about Lostalex's and my "Fat Kings" argument can we tempt you over to the dark side? i have cake!

I'd be happy to agree tax is the way to go if only i did not believe that at the heart of all non sliding scaled taxation is unfairness

You cannot tempt me sir, not with cakes anyway! Chocolate ice-cream, crisps, peanuts and Nutella - and I'll get my cloak. I also love BBQ spare ribs - do they count?
