I know what you’re thinking, and you’re wrong. This is not a Democrat idea. It’s a Republicans. I know. I’m just as shocked as you. ♫Nanny State, Nanny State, Oh Nanny, Nanny State.♪

I’ve got a better idea. Why don’t we tax legislators for concocting dumbass laws? We’ll start with Illinois State Senator Shane Cultra.

via Stltoday.com:

An Illinois lawmaker says parents who have obese children should lose their state tax deduction.

“It’s the parents’ responsibility that have obese kids,” said state Sen. Shane Cultra, R-Onarga. “Take the tax deduction away for parents that have obese kids.”

Most of the time yes, it is on the parents, but a lot of times it is not. It can be a health issue with the childs genetic makeup. But that’s not the point. The point being… it’s none of the governments fugging business. PERIOD.
