There Oughta Be A Law

In the wake of news that current health care deform proposals would fine people up to $3800 for not carrying insurance, James Taranto asks:

Why not apply this principle to other areas of social policy as well? For example, we could deal with the problem of homelessness by passing a law requiring everyone to have a home, and levying thousands of dollars in fines against those who fail to comply.

We should tax poverty! Just imagine all of the "good" we could accomplish by taxing the poor into prosperity. End the EITC and hit anyone below the poverty line with hefty taxes; it's for their own good;-)
