Should pretty people pay more tax?

Good-looking people should be taxed more than those with a face like a bag of spanners to compensate for the natural advantages the pretty have over the ugly, according to Argentinean writer Gonzalo Otalora. Do you agree?

    Who defines who is pretty and who is ugly? Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and in any case true beauty comes from within and is long lasting whereas physical beauty can often fade with age. The question to be asked is: which is preferable, a package wrapped in plain brown paper that contains a priceless diamond or a package wrapped in glittery, expensive paper that contains a rotten apple?

    You don't have to be alone for ever: there are some very ugly and obnoxious people about but the other 99.9% can find a beholder somewhere
    4. If you get dumped, accept it and don't fight it. If you manage to get undumped, you'll only get dumped again later. once you get dumped a few times and find that no 2 and no 3 are OK, you'll lose the fear of it
    5. Fear of being dumped increases the probability of it happening
    6. I'll get sløgged off for this but being from a different social class makes a relationship more difficult than an age gap or from a different country

    how ridiculous beauty is in the eye of the beholder somebody may appeal as pretty to one person and not so pretty to an other and people cant help there looks many people have inner beauty but may not be as pretty on the outside i dont judge people on looks but their honesty and friendship and being down to earth
