I made this thread because I didn't get any signatures off the original one. If we get 150 petitions, they will make it public on the whitehouse.gov website.

Text of petition:

Tax Obesity for a Better America

The specter of obesity looms threateningly over our great nation. Unfortunately, it has been overshadowed in the public eye by issues like global warming. Yet, the effects of obesity are just as far reaching-- if not more so.

It is well-established that the obese generate more body heat, contributing to global warming. Moreover, the visual pollution they produce is literally immeasurable. Recent studies have also shown that prolonged exposure to unaesthetic visual stimuli can result in damage to the eyes, visual cortex, and overall mental health.

We therefore propose the imposition of a heavy (no pun intended) tax on the obese.

A possible name for this proposed legislation: The Weight-loss, Health, and Logic Enforcement (WHALE) Act.

We ask our leaders to please do the right thing.

How much would this affect the economy if all the obese people stopped eating fast food and decided to eat healthier( not exactly more expensive either)? What about a smoking tax? Elbows too pointy tax? Miscer tax deduction?

A tax like this could actually be logical due to increased health care costs resulting from conditions related to obesity (srs)

60-70% of the nation is overweight or obese...something like this would never get passed anyway. I just want to see if they'll actually put it on public display.

I'll sign if you write the petition daddy-o.
