Blank Check for Socialism (Cow fart Tax!)
Mullin' It Over Column ^ | September 22, 2021 | Congressman Mullins (R) OK-02

Posted on 10/02/2021 9:45:35 AM PDT by Nateman

By now, you have probably heard about President Biden’s $3.5 trillion “Build Back Better” bill and all the empty promises in it. The truth is that it will do nothing to build our country up. Instead, this is a blank check to take our country into socialism.

This bill will change every American’s way of life. It’s filled with radical policy changes that will raise costs on all goods, put the federal government in charge of educating your kids, prioritize climate policy over national security, breach every American’s privacy, and saddle future generations with debt.

In an attempt to eliminate fossil fuels, this legislation would impose a “fee” on all methane emissions, including in our agriculture industry. We all know that a fee is just a tax and that consumers are the ones who will pay for it. The tax is estimated to cost $6,500 per dairy cow, $2,600 per head of cattle, and $500 per swine each year. That is more than what the animals are worth, it’ll run ranchers out of business.

Democrats are touting that this bill has $200 billion of federal spending for “free” universal preschool and community college. What the Democrats aren’t promoting is that states will be required to foot 50 percent of the cost once this measure is up and running. This is the same for free community college provisions. States will be required to foot 25 percent of the two years free of community college costs as well. Nothing is ever free. The state of Oklahoma will pay for this bill too, not just Washington.

The Biden Administration argues new Internal Revenue Service (IRS) provisions in the bill will narrow the tax-gap, but it’s just a gross example of federal overreach. The IRS would require banks to report transaction data for any account with at least $600 of cash in or out annually, violating the privacy of what Americans do with their money.

These are just a few of the worst provisions in this legislation and there are thousands more that take us closer to full blown socialism. And beyond that, it calls for the highest sustained federal spending level in American history that will saddle our future generations with massive debt.

The Democrats want government control over every aspect of our lives and that’s exactly what they are delivering. If this bill gets signed into law, it’s the end of the American dream and the beginning of government dependency.

...Every acre of their beloved wetlands, waterways and oceans emit as much methane as a cow.

We all know what the solution to that is! Tax it and regulate it!

...is it the cattle or the cattle farmers they really want to go after?

Every day the targets shift and the lies mutate. The ONLY thing consistent about the RATs is their never ending quest for unlimited power.

A half dozen pages and I'm already ill... how can anyone defend this monstrosity?

Still, no one will tax a cow for thousands, flatulence smell test or not.

This is probably what they are screaming about:

SEC. 30114. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY METHANE FEE. (a) APPROPRIATION.—In addition to amounts other wise available,
there is appropriated to the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency.
...to carry out section 136 of the Clean Air Act.
...

I know they want to go after cows but is it the cattle or the cattle farmers they really want to go after?

It depends on what you mean by Farmer.

No, they are not going after the big industrial farmers; those with thousands of acres and thousand of head of cattle.

They are going after the small farmers with a few head of cattle and a few hundred acres.

The goal is to concentrate property and power in a closeted few people creating a corporatist socialist state.

Small businesses and farms are systematically squeezed out of the economy and replaced by ever larger corporations controlled by the Federal state.

The vote will become meaningless because the corporate state will control everything.

I know several individual families that raise a few steers and or pigs for their personal consumption and few for sale. They do not make a lot of money. A tax like this would quickly end that.

Famous last words. NOTHING is too ridiculous for the Government to tax. Especially when they want to use that tax to destroy something they want to see gone.

Yeah and $6500 a year for dairy cows? Kids don’t need milk. /s

The numbers were based on someone’s “what if” calculations.

[ Well. Then everything is just dandy. Some entity paid 200,000 above asking price down the street from my mother’s house. Every other house is bought in hours above asking price and no one moves in. Something is going on. If it ain’t blackstone it is some other monster working with the democrats. ]

If her house is in a big city... SELL IT! and use that money to move to a red state to a rural area!

If her house is in a Red State or rural town, DO NOT SELL!
