insurance premiums because we're forced to subsidize your gluttony. *Even
so, you still die younger and take up two airplane seats while heading to
earlier deaths. *KM


However they also collect less Social Security and Medicare. With all the
anti-smoking propaganda, the fact is that the shorter lives of smokers are
a net gain in terms of revenue, since usually the medical care comes at a
time when they are still covered by private insurance.


What fatties collect in decreased Social Security benefits is small
consolation to those who pay full-fare for their own seats and then must
share part of their seats with obese passengers. *KM

Then complain to the airlines. They're responsible for seat
size. I'm sure the fatty is even less happy to sit next to you.
