RENDERING UNTO CAESAR

In the Gospels, we are told that, Jesus, the son of God, petitioned the Apostle
Peter to procure a denarius from a fish’s mouth to pay their taxes--thus, rendering unto Caesar. I figure if the Son of God can render unto to Caesar,
who are we that are bit over weight? There is a move afoot in Washington to tax those who are obese--The fiscal logic is that a disproportionate amount of monies are allocated to the attendant diseases that come with being overweight. Let me play an objective advocate, without the fetters of political correctness--do you think if some fundamentalist, Republican legislatures were to enact a law for having gays pay more taxes, the outrage would be deafening. One could make the case that there are many a diseases that are associated and prevalent among those who engage in homosexual behavior. With that said, I hope that they raise the taxes dramatically for those residing in Miami’s South Beach, San Francisco, New York’s Upper East Side, LA/Hollywood, and basically any English men residing here. To my friend in New Jersey, I know what you are thinking, what if you are fat and gay?
