Taxes.

My friend Jeff stated on Facebook that Congress is talking about taxing video games since sitting on the couch and playing them causes obesity.

OK that's stupid enough as it is. However, it did get me to thinking [which is often dangerous]. Let's look into other unhealthy activities that we can tax.

Sex:. After all, STDs and multiple babies cause health problems. So let's tax any and all sex related items. Condoms; Playboy; Viagra; Fertility drugs [Remember OCTOMOM?]; Trips to Argentina [HA!]; bikinis; strippers; Adultery [oh wait, I covered that with the Argentina trips].

I could go on, but I'd just be told "Stop it Roger".

Atheism: Studies show that no matter what religion someone is, prayers help when someone is sick. Therefore if an atheist gets sick and it would be a violation of his Constitutional rights to to pray for him against his will, then we should tax his atheism.

Stupidity:Stupid people cause stress in others. For example, I used to work customer service. Every time someone acted like an idiot, they should be taxed for the stress it caused me since that is a health risk.

Taxes: Since most taxes cause stress and stress is unhealthy, let's just tax taxes.

Success:Success is stressful so let's tax it. Oh wait, the Democrats have been doing that for years now, it's called Socialism.

Non-Pet Ownership: It's been said that pet ownership lowers blood pressure. Therefore anyone that does not own a pet should be taxed.

Cats: There needs to be special tax on cats. I know, I know. I just said pets lower blood pressure. But, I hate cats so let's tax them.

These are just a few ideas, anyone want to add their own?
