The fact that one pays taxes does not give that person the right to dictate how others run or should run their lives. Paying taxes gives one the right to use services provided to the public and to participate in the government process.

Instead of punishing ALL people who may like the occasional piece of fried chicken or order of french fries, why not target the true reason behind this law... obese people. Not sure how this would be done other than eliminate certain public benefits for those who are above certain BMI's, but even this has serious flaws.

There is no easy solution to the obesity problem, but moving us one step closer to socialism should not be a solution at all. ]]> Mon, 04 Aug 2008 13:04:28 -0400

Will the legislation passed a few years ago that complicated bankruptcy laws on credit card debt exacerbate the problem?]]> Sun, 02 Mar 2008 12:05:24 -0500
