Want to get the economy going again? Tax the most deserving. Here in America, that tends to imply the überrich, but in Argentina, argues Gonzalo Otalora, it's the ugly who are truly poor—and the beautiful who should be bankrolling them. Otalora writes in his "manifesto del feosexual"—the "ugly-sexual's" manifesto—that "countless studies show that...it's easier for them to find jobs; they're paid more and find partners more easily." He advocates that the tax be donated to the unlovely. Would it work for the U.S.? Who knows, but we think some of our girls could end the recession in no time.
