Fat Tax

The U.S.A. is growing fat.
Nanny Bloomberg strives to weigh in
With consume bans on this and that,
But obesity's gonna win.
The fast food and drink industry
Gets more profits the more the pounds.
Early death from disease 'twill be,
But making babies still abounds.
Let's tax in fat like tax income,
Progressively per each one's weight.
Allow health deductions for some.
The more you pay, the more you ate.

Who else can the government charge?
Why - We the People, by and large.
