So we pay a tax to help us get skinny so government can get fat.

Like the plastic bag tax, the fuel tax, the sugar tax, the sin tax. Like they all went to what they were supposed to go to... Nope just more money for the trough.

And the scary thing we only breath in 20% oxygen, 70% of air is nitrogen.

That's not helping, now they will want to include a separate Nitrogen tax

I'll keep quiet, as long as I can cut out that 20% oxygen that's killing me.

This must be opposed. This government is taxing us to death. There was the notorious salt tax in pre-revolutionary France - the gabelle. Coming soon. When the middle class rebels as in pre-revolutionary France then it will make the July riots seem like a walk in the park. Voting has no impact , the taxes keep on coming.

So silly to tax everyone. Rather prohibit fat people from using public healthcare and make them pay a fattie surcharge on medical aid.

Discovery already does that

Should be more explicit though. They make you sign the fattie waiver, put it on your statement as a separate line item, and once a year they check if it still applies by jiggling your belly rolls.

Discovery would make a great Dictatorship, 1984 style,
if you do this, you pay for X, if you drive in such a way, you pay Y amount for insurance.
if you fat your Medical aid is A,

but I suppose all they have done is spread their Corporate ideals to everybody out there.
