"Passing gas" tax for bovine



I saw this clip on MSNBC. Farmers may be taxed for the methane escaping out of their cows because it is detrimental to the environment. Take a guess on how this will affect dairy prices at the local supermarket? As if food prices weren't high enough already during a recession. I would feel a little bit sorrier for the dairy farmer in this clip if he and the rest of the farming industry didn't already receive a huge federal subsidy.

There has been an increase of money availability to everyone known as bailout spillover. Due to recession there is increased funding for all types of grants. Even lenders are bending over backwards to bail you out too. Regardless of statistics, there is people getting tons of cheap money for personal use, investments,start businesses, buy homes, pay off debt, and more. Bailout is for YOU

And this in my state of Alabama too! How silly.

Then again, only Alabamians can make something this stupid up. This will go nowhere, as the people - especially majority in Alabama - do not want this. Matter of fact, the largest group I have heard to support this is PETA, and like that says a lot to people like me.

There is no limit to the absurdity of the viros and their progressive enablers.

But you're right about the agro subsidies. Pity. That's been going on since Hoover.
