Using the same logic that the politicians use concerning smoking and medical costs I think they should enact a 100% luxury tax on all junk food. Those fat bastiges deserve the same treatment that smokers get.

How about this revenue plan...

First tax the junk food

then legalize marijuana to generate junk food munchy sales and increased tax revenue.

wow, we'd balance the budget and get rid of the deficit in months

Hmmmmm,
I got it. Let them vote themselves the raise, like they always did, until they made it automatic. Then tax their pay until their bringhome, is the average take home pay in their home state. That ought to do it.
