It had to come – all this “greening” of the world based on completely flawed data for a THEORY called “global warming”. . . . a sin tax on cattle, pigs, goats, and other farm animals. This will, if passed (and we know that with Obama in office it will), create huge cost increases at the meat counter for those of us who love our red meat. That, in turn will increase sales tax (in those jurisdictions where cut meats are taxable on a food tax).
I’m not kidding. In quoting the WorldNetDaily.com article, EPA ‘Cow Tax’ Could Charge $175 per Dairy Cow to Curb Greenhouse Gases”, on today’s edition of the electronic news page, this is a real planned tax. Farming operations would be charged as follows:
“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.”
What’s more, this would be annually, not one time per animal. The farmers would then be forced to pass this cost on to the middle-men buyers, who would jack up the price of dairy and meats in the grocery stores.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! The THEORY of global warming is nothing more than that – a T-H-E-O-R-Y. Theories have to be proven, not disproven. Data parameters cannot be changed to suit the desired outcomes, despite what Al Gore may say and dispirate sets of data cannot be “hen pecked” to come up with information that suits the desired outcome, as has been widely done in the global warming theory. If it’s getting warmer, it’s because of global warming. If it’s getting colder, then it’s because of global warming. Stupidity reigns supreme for those who worship at the altar of Al Gore, a failed presidential candidate who spends more on his home utilities in one month than you or I could spend in 10 years. But what does he care? He’s got $1 million from the Nobel Society to pay for those utility bills. In addition, his so-called carbon offsets that he “sells” for his personal use, are sold to his own corporate foundation – talk about eating at the trough of public funding.
And another thing while I’m venting – POLAR BEARS numbers are increasing, not decreasing. They were put on the list of “at risk” populations of animals because of this so called global warming THEORY to make the “greenies” happy. There are more polar bears now than have existed since the last ice age and the ice levels in the Arctic and Antarctic are at a level at least as high as in 1979 – 30 years ago.
You see, little ‘GREENIES’, the earth’s climate runs in cycles, approximating 30-40 years. So, if the ice levels at the poles are what they were 30 some years ago, then I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. Next you’ll be wanting a tax on the “expression” that you and I each create from digesting those vegetables we’ll be reduced to eating because our dairy and meat are too expensive. What’s next, a tax on ant gas?
