EPA to tax Farts and Belches of Cows and Pigs!

If we figure out how to hook the truck or tractor to the rear end of the bull..can we just use the methane for fuel and not pay the fart and belch tax? I'm pretty sure Sammy the Dexter bull will have something to say about that..but the other option is the butcher. Sammy may come around to our way of thinking!

One wonders, from experience, if a few individuals walking around should be taxed by the EPA for the fart and belch sessions they have. I mean, some of the most eye crossing farts and belches have come from two leggers, not four. And they usually fart and belch indoors. Paint peeling may not be a crime yet, but who knows?

This ought to be raising a ruckus. It doesn't just affect farmers/ranchers and their livestock. If this would get passed, wouldn't it be the end of U.S. beef and pork?

They could raise a fortune just by taxing methane produced by all the Democrats......

Do they intend to put some sort of meter on these animals?

What it will do is stop the small farmer/rancher from owning a milk cow or buying a calf to raise at home for the meat locker. It a shove towards big business.

Let me tell you how it will be;
There’s one for you, nineteen for me.
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

Should five per cent appear too small,
Be thankful I don’t take it all.
‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

(if you drive a car, car;) - I’ll tax the street;
(if you try to sit, sit;) - I’ll tax your seat;
(if you get too cold, cold;) - I’ll tax the heat;
(if you take a walk, walk;) - I’ll tax your feet.

Taxman!

‘Cause I’m the taxman,
Yeah, I’m the taxman.

(if you own a cow) — I’ll tax the belches;
(if you own a pig) — I’ll tax the farts;
(if you own a pond) — I’ll tax the leaches;
(if you own a brothel) — I’ll tax the tarts.

(Adapted from “Taxman” — George Harrison. The last two lines were just added to complete the rhyme scheme of the stanza I added. Despite that: sad to say, they’re probably true.)

“gas meter readers”
`Federal Atmospheric Greenhouse’ (Emissions, Meter Reader II), an entry level position.
Succeed as a `FAG’ and move up to `Pecker Checker I’ in Chicago’s federal courthouse restroom.
