Cow Tax?



"Farmers across the country may soon be getting a big tax bill.

The Environmental Protection Agency is considering a cow tax in an effort to combat methane emissions from cows. Under the proposal, a farmer would have to pay $175 per dairy cow and $87 per beef cow a year.

Many Congressmen on Capitol Hill are against the idea. They feel the cow tax will force many farmers out of business. " - WCAX-TV

Are you fucking kidding me? First they have the brilliant idea of using corn for ethanol fuel which requires more energy to be produced than it actually provides. Basically they are paying farmers to melt and remint coins. Farmers produce ethanol qrade corn because it is more lucrative thus driving up the cost of other vegetables because of low supply and high demand. Meat(cows) eat corn too so now meat is more expensive.....oh, and did I mention it made gas expensive too. And the best part? The only way to transport it is by DIESEL truck. That sure is environmentally friendly!

Now they want to tax farmers for each cow they own. Maybe they should just pick up all the farmers and put them in China to rake the rice paddies. Get real you idiots. Taxing cows will eliminate the feasibility of farming in America for real this time. And it's just plain stupid.
