Airline Fees: Should Overweight Flyers Pay More for a Flight?

Yes, overweight people should have to purchase at least 1 additional seat, perhaps 2 additional seats. Because if I can't fit into my seat, because the fat people around me overlap theirs, then why do I have to pay for a seat I can't even use? If a person can't even fit into their seat, then they should purchase the neighboring seats also. If they have a little test basket into which your carry-on bag must fit, they could also have a test seat into which fat people must fit. It has gotten ridiculous how large some people have let their bodies get. Yeah, the American diet is so unhealthy, compared to other countries, or so I hear, but I don't suppose that the airlines are to blame for this, especially when they feed you almost nothing now?

But what is outrageous about the airlines, is the way they are ripping us off in baggage fees. Come on, people are not allowed to ride below where the checked baggage rides, nor are we allowed to ride inside of the overhead carry-on compartments. So since our baggage can ride in such places, shouldn't it ride either for free, or for a lesser fee per pound? (compared with the cost of the ticket for the comparatively "heavy" person who is required to have a seat). If we are going to be charged for every little thing we wish to bring with us, then somebody ought to show up in only their underwear, with no shoes nor socks, to protest and in-effect say, "I have nothing extra, now give me the cut-rate cheapest possible airline ticket price." We should get at least 1 carry-on for free, for don't tell me like the airline has to do any work to load or track that little piece of carry-on baggage. If they don't allow a carry-on and various personal items such as a laptop computer and coat and bag of snacks, then the overhead bins would be empty. So what are the carry-on bins even there for? Maybe they should just get rid of the overhead bins to save weight? What's next? Like the spoofs, I seen on YouTube, where we are charged for the seatbelt, and for the seatbelt release button, and for a window, and for ...?

And isn't a basic seat fare, supposed to include at least 1 checked bag as well? Otherwise, what's the luggage space under the passenger cabin for? Oh, that's right, the greedy airlines sold that off for mail freight packages or something? So they double-dipped, charged us for what we didn't get, then turned around and sold the space again. sort of like how politicians charge us for something, then steal from us yet again with another complicated and redundant and unnecessary tax. Why do we ever have to pay a toll-road fee, when we already paid the gasoline tax? Can we get a refund on our gasoline tax, every time we drive on a toll-road?

BTW, when are we going to fire the TSA molester perverts, and tell the truth that 9-11 was an inside job?
