Cow Flatulence Tax

The Boston Tea Party isn't against paying taxes. The Boston Tea Party is against the government imposing taxes which are meant to manipulate the masses or sectors or designated individuals. We said the environmentalist would get around to imposing a tax on cows because they believe cow flatulence (and that of other livestock) is depleting the ozone layer. Members of the U.S. Senate must believe such a bill will be proposed because they have proposed a Livestock Emissions Tax Ban Act (Senate Bill S. 3729 IS 110th Congress) sponsored by Sen Dorgan, Byron L. [ND] (introduced 12/10/2008). Latest Major Action: 12/10/2008 Referred to Senate committee. Status: Read twice and referred to the Committee on Environment and Public Works. It should be noted the impetus for submitting the bill is probably because other country have already imposed this tax. I hope Mrs. O'Leary doesn't have any more cows because this cow flatulance tax isn't going to play well in Chicago (the livestock capitol).

James Kotecki of the Politico.com posted the following humerous video report. In a more serious vein 2008 Presidential hopeful, Mike Huckabee, on the Cow Fart Tax for farmers Fox News Video. LiveLeak(tm) interviews dairy farmer Charlie Hanehan about the proposed flatulance tax.

Environmentalists are serious as demonstrated in this short video. Before there were herds of cows there were herds of mastodons. Before mastodons there were Iquanadons. At first the environmentalists said it was freon. Freon was really cheap until the environmentalists convinced congress to pass a tax on freon and strict regulations. Even though it has since been proven freon does not create a hole in the ozone the tax and regulations are still there. Then the environmentalists said, "You're right it isn't freon but the chlorine put in swimming pools. Now that has been dispelled they are saying it is livestock flatulence.

The truth is the earth was four degrees warmer, on average, 400 years ago. Then, the earth had much fewer glaciers and the tropic zone extended up into mid North America. We are coming out of a mini ice age that was created by frequent major volcanic eruptions that filled the atmosphere with volcanic clouds. These clouds dropped the temperature of the atmosphere and created the mini ice age. Nature is just taking its course naturally. Who do you want to believe, me or Gary Busey? Frankly, I think the proposed tax stinks! The Boston Tea Party is on record as being against the tax.
