I understand the issues people of size face. For the most part, I'm sympathetic. But when it comes to fitting into a limited space, if they take up extra room, they should pay for it.

I'm looking for my gasoline subsidy. Why should *I* pay more to gas up the GMC 1/2-ton pickup than *YOU* pay for the Toyota Prius?
