Read my colleague Mark Schenkel's thoughts on the "fat tax" (not a typo) at our blog LockeSmith:
Let me be clear, I am not advocating that politicians seek ways to increase taxes, whether through the creation of new tax code or the revision of old code. I'm just suggesting that the use of a simple tax that encourages all those who are inclined to pursue the creation economic value equally is likely to generate more overall value at the end of the day.
