It’s What I Do Hmm… They’re Coming

Are You Serious Moron?

June 19th, 2003

A complete dumb ass in New York with an “official” title of Assemblyman Felix Ortiz is attempting to make his first and last “claim to fame” by proposing a “fat tax” on items he feels cause obesity in America.

“The 1 percent tax hike proposed by Assemblyman Felix Ortiz would apply to junk food, video games and television commercials, which Ortiz blames on New York’s growing obesity problem. Ortiz, a Democrat, did not rule out proposing tax increases on other things that he believes contribute to obesity.”

Is this guy for f-in real? What a complete asshole. If this guy ever ran for any f-in office anywhere near my home, I’d protest his office daily before he cried for mercy. Come on, a “fat tax”? I propose an asshole tax, which would enforce a tax on any item purchased by registered assholes, thus increasing government “profits” ten fold across the country.

I’m just so outraged by this total jackass even proposing such an insane tax it makes me want to vomit. Mr. Assemblyman, please go assemble uranus as I hope it gets handed to you in the Senate of New York.

An interview with Mr. Ortiz shows how much of a moron he really is:

Ortiz: It’s very simple. Our kids are spending too much time behind the TV playing games. That’s one reason the kids are fat. … When my oldest son was 6, he started to be inactive. So I threw his SEGA away. I said, “No way, Jose. This is gone.”

So what you do purpose people do with their down time after running a marathon each day Mr. Ortiz? Read a book? That isn’t active, you should tax those as well. Hell, the new Harry Potter novel comes out in a few days and millions upon millions of inactive children and adults will be reading the book, punish those people. What about playing a board game with your child, those aren’t active, tax those too. Let’s also tax computers and the internet beause those are inactive activities as well. Shit, we should even tax sleeping because you get fatter while you sleep and it’s also not active.

Why do we even bother with politicians? All their job is to them is a big game. Let’s try this law today and see if we can get a high score of support. If not, hit reset and try again. *Bastards*.

    Another thing that really pisses me off is idiots like this think video games don’t take brain power or they’re just killing machines like that stupid f-in Grand Theft Auto game. Deny me this, I’m playing Zelda with my daughter and she is reading all the text to me at age 6. This game was developed for adults and there are some rather large words that she reads without a problem but I shouldn’t play games because she’ll get “fat”. Who cares if she can read well because of it, that doesn’t matter… Hey Ortiz, screw off you moron.
