EPA Targets Cows, Grows Government
The EPA is out of control—it has released a new proposal to tax
greenhouse gases. Since greenhouse gases are all naturally produced,
there would be some difficulty defining every gas source as one problem.
Instead, they propose to tax agriculture for greenhouse emissions. For
smaller animals like hogs, the tax would be $20 per year. For the
largest animals, the tax would be over $100 per year. The Department of
Agriculture, to its credit, came out with a statement that taxing family
farms would cause undue hardship leading to failure; few family farms
have financial room for additional taxes.

This tax on greenhouse gases would also include carbon-emitting
vehicles, such as cars. This would be understandable if we were near the
limit of CO2 in the air. However, plants can handle up to 6 percent
carbon dioxide in the air; we are currently at .363 percent. Contrary to
popular opinion, that level is not rising rapidly. It may be rising, but
at a very low rate.

Since our new president has bought in to the global warming hoax, some
increase in taxes is inevitable. The underlying purpose of the hoax is
to increase the scope of government—of course Barack buys in.

The polar bear was recently listed as endangered because, the EPA
claimed, the ice that makes up its habitat is disappearing. A fact that
is getting in the way of this alarmism is that ice levels in some parts
of the polar bear’s territory are at record highs. That fact will not
stop the global warming nuts from using the listing to try and destroy
the economy of the United States.

President Obama announced recently that he was going to increase
employment in the United States by 3 million jobs, 600,000 of which
would be in government. Don’t we already have enough government
employees?

Putting Obama’s employment goal and greenhouse emissions into the same
equation, some of those jobs would undoubtedly come in an agency whose
sole purpose is to deal with global warming. If global warming does not
exist, there would be no job opportunities

Unfortunately, we will be seeing more of this kind of thing over the
next four years. Democrats are Big Government types, and Big Government
types see the need for government everywhere. So grab hold of your
wallet and get ready for a wild ride. Hopefully, they will outdo
themselves with excess and the American people will get sick of fees and
taxes on everything. Until then, we just have to grin and bear it. We
can fight what we can, but Democrats are in the majority and we cannot
stop everything.

False.

"Q: Is the EPA considering a tax on cows and pigs?

A: No. The farm lobby warned that EPA "could" push for such a tax, but
EPA never proposed any such thing and says it lacks authority to
impose one anyway.

This one is a case study in how lobbyists sometimes justify their own
salaries by loudly fighting against hypothetical but nonexistent
threats from Washington.

The source of this hokum is a misleading news release put out by the
American Farm Bureau Federation on Nov. 20. The highly inaccurate
headline read: "AFBF Opposes EPA-Proposed Tax on Livestock." In truth,
however, the Environmental Protection Agency hasn't proposed any tax
on livestock. In fact, the Farm Bureau's own documentation admitted as
much. "

Please do check these rumors first. Do you send money to Nigerian
ministers too?-

No, because those people only email people recommended to them as
being extremely "trustworthy and honourable"

Oh, by the way, how are those reusable toilet wipes going komrade?



Perhaps you can tell me as you seem to be the expert.

Given your posts, I'm guessing you're having trouble working out which
end to use them on.
