Will fat people be charged more due to excess weight?

 

Asking for a friend.

 

 

Yes. Perhaps a consumption tax should apply to fattening, luxury foods. You could do the same thing to alcohol and cigarettes. It would stop people drinking and smoking.

suggest you read the article if you have a lot of spare time to waste. You'll get a much better informed analysis of the whole topic which I admit is a bit theoretical rather than based upon common sense and facts. A lazy AI question doesn't really bring a lot to the but I respect your source of information and apologies for my condescending and arrogant behaviour. 
 

😂😂😂Just imagine the man you could be lad. I did have a little play with your words.

I do believe you've spread yourself too thin this evening: multiple pointless arguments, with multiple people, across multiple threads. That would explain the lack of any cohesive reasoning so far. Bet it gives you that good old buzz of battle though. 

 

I suspect it's futile, but go on then, I'll try one last attempt to squeeze a coherent point out of you. 

 

So, elaborate on waste of time. What to you constitutes a good use of time? Other than the aforementioned mock battles. 

 

Theoretical as opposed to facts and common sense. Elaboration required again. Which bits about cars belong in the left hand column, and which belong in the right hand column?

For anyone not familiar with my politics, my sense of humour or taxes in England, VAT is a consumption tax and is already on brakes and tyres (and booze and fags). The more people wear out tyres and brakes, the more money the government gets. They're pro pollution. 

 

So I very obviously don't want more tax on tyres and brake pads. It wouldn't help anyway. No amount of money would. In fact it would increase pollution, people having to scurry about performing more economic activity to pay the higher tax. Between warfare, its other pointless and destructive activities and causing people to work excessively, the state is the worst polluter we have.

 

Tax freedom day is the point in the year where you stop working to pay tax and start keeping what you earn. It falls later and later every year. This year it was 12th June. Imagine all the tyre and brake dust from those 162 out of 365 days simply not existing because people were at home instead. Now that's an environmental good.
