EPA 'Cow Tax'

Now that the Lord Messiah Obama is due to assume power, we can probably count on this EPA plan, similar taxes, and additional expensive plans designed to "halt" the stupid hoax of global warming. Cow farts be damned! Not damned...they'll just tax them. They'll tax your ass into the ground...until you reside in a completely socialist state, unless you tell them to stick it!

One thing you can count on--they could care less about 'greenhouse gases.' To politicians like Al Gore, this is just a vehicle to more government control of your lives.

“The tax for dairy cows could be $175 per cow, and $87.50 per head of beef cattle. The tax on hogs would upwards of $20 per hog,” the release said. “Any operation with more than 25 dairy cows, 50 beef cattle or 200 hogs would have to obtain permits.”

Kate Galbraith, correspondent for The New York Times, noted on the Times’ “Green Inc.” blog that such a “proposal is far from being enacted” and that the “hysteria may be premature.”

But Rick Krause, senior director of congressional relations for the American Farm Bureau, warned it’s certainly feasible – especially based on the rhetoric of President-elect Barack Obama and the use of the EPA to combat global warming. Such action by an Obama administration would take an act of Congress for livestock to be exempt.
