Taxing farts is like taxing unwanted gifts: "A gift is only a good thing when the giver has given thought to that gift. But when the gift the giver gives gives grief, then that gift should give the givee regrets."

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 is beyond STUPID....and YES....we’d all have to forever forget hamburgers, steak, etc.
(I doubt it will happen.)
A) The EPA has no power to tax.

Sir,
Kindly use the proper term, Fartonometric Analysts, henceforth.

Does that mean that the EPA’s “idea” won’t be picked up by the “greenies” in the Obama administration?
In the Record Stockman reported that the EPA is ruling on whether or not GHG emissions should be classified as endangering public safety. They are setting a threshold..if you own 25 dairy or 50 beef cattle, you would meet that threshold.
On FoxNews the chart was $175 pr cow, $20 pr pig, and I don’t remember the other one....but it only applied to Farmers with more than certain amount... Someone said it could add up to $40,000 per farm, which would raise cost of beef, pork etc.

All joking aside, anyone that interferes with food production in the US ought to be shoved up against a wall and shot! Lord, please spare us the fate of other communist countries!
The EPA wants to have a Pass The Gas Tax. Now that Tax rate would be based on weight and size. At least $50 for everyone in the U.S..
What about people????????
Hey guys, this thread is a gas.

Pinging my humor ping list - freepmail me if you want on or off this list.
(This is usually a low volume ping, as I don’t search for humor threads, but I do ping when I find something really funny.)
Imposing a tax on air used to be a joke. The freaking aliens of the left are insane. I have lived near dairy’s in the South and Cotton Gins in the West. They both stink, yet provide hard money to the local economy. I am amazed at the stupidity of the people that want this.
Why those cattle are wild!
I do sell 'packaged' hunts, though...
Now, if they did something like that I'd have to go on a diet--of pastrami, chilli (with beans), and pickled eggs, and go visit D.C. just to ride in all the official elevators.
LOL
What about taxing boys? (and in our family’s case, girls), or for that matter have you ever fed your cat canned seafood flavoured stuff? Gawd, that should be taxed!!! I mean, there’s no limit here: tax Taco Bell meals, in Britain, tax everything (I mean it already is)but tax beans because they put ‘em on everything! Some cold remedies cause serious bust-ups so I suppose they should be taxed too...this is beyond ridiculous! Farmers will no longer be able to raise cattle so therfore I suppose we will have to cut down on beef so then we will have to cut the cheese instead (so to speak). I’ll bet PETA is behind this.
