Fat Tax



I took a walk today to the local deli and as I was waiting for my bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich I noticed the papers. On the front cover of the Daily News in big black font it read "Fat Tax?"

Thats right ladies and gentlemen Pennsylvania could be implementing this law within the near future. Think they won't? Think again, it has all ready taken place in Japan and in the state of Alabama.

Alabama recently gave its 37,527 overweight government employees a year to slim down and shape up or be prepared to fork over $25 a month for health insurance that otherwise would be free. To my big bro in Alabama; "I told you to watch that gut."

I found the front page so intriguing I bought the Daily News which is unusual since I get my news watching TV on the couch with a bag of potato chips. Unfortunately they forgot to put the newspaper in the bag when they should have forgotten the Bacon, Egg, and Cheese sandwich.
