Only in America ! The Environmental Protection Agency has come up with a "unique" way to fight global warming. They are going to tax Animal Farts I mean Flatulence. It has been reported that Cows are a leading supplier of "methane" into the atmosphere, and our government is going to do something about it. A Tax on livestock. Now if they really wanted to slow down global warming, maybe they could tax political speeches. Read the full story below:

Who is going to collect the cow fart tax, and how is it going to be disbursed? Maybe this is some of the new 600,000 government jobs Obama has promised.
I have often said the ultimate plan is to fit everybody with a but plug that has a coin slot. You have to put in the coins to fart. It was meant as a joke.
It is time to take the muskets down off the wall and take our country back.
Wonder what the price of a steak will end up being?
It’s going to be a flat rate of 175 dollars per head.Most farmers will send their herd to slaughter.Expect the price of dairy products to soar if these idiots start to tax like this.
FRiends, the time for revolution gets closer every day.
They want $175 per cow, per year. So if you are a dairy farmer and you have 1000 cows (not that unusual) then you will pay $175,000 each year, just for this tax. After 6 years you will have paid 1 MILLION dollars in taxes.
This will drive many dairy farms out of business. We will then get milk and cheese from other countries (outsourcing). Some of it will come from China... how safe will Chinese milk be?
Your gov’t, hard at work for the average American.
You better replace that musket with something more modern while you still can.
And don't forget the ammo. It will be taxed out of reach before long.
Got lots of both.
If this is not enough to get the farmers to march on Washington, nothing is. No doubt another Al “windbag” Gore half-assed idea.
And Ted Turner will be taxed how much per bison on his ranch?
And this is how the famine in the world begins. if the ranchers just chuck it because of exorbitant taxes, food will grow scarce. Plus with global cooling the growing seasons will be shorter and crops will physically be smaller. Start stocking up.
The power to tax is the power to control. You must view everyone who proposes a tax as someone who wants to take more control away from you, and take more control over your own personal life choices.
YOu also must look at them as someone who views you as a wallet.
You must view them as someone who believes YOU can get by with less, but not government.
You must view them as someone who believes charity is about taking more and more of your money, with the FORCE of government, and giving it to someone else.
Whatever works to get you the maddest. And then go do something about it. Start laying groundwork to get these people out of office, recalled, and get people in who understand lowering taxes helps people the most.
“175 dollars per head” ?!?!?!? Holy cowbells, Robin!

So, a group of federal bureaucrats gathers together and comes to the following conclusion: “We’re in two wars against muslims who want to terminate our existence while the economy is in a major tailspin. So, let’s focus on cow farts.”
It’s gone over the top. Bring a thousand pikes together by the risin’ of the moon.
“FRiends, the time for revolution gets closer every day.”
You can’t be more right. We’ve lost control of the asylum.
“I have often said the ultimate plan is to fit everybody with a but plug that has a coin slot”
It’ll be shaped like a big red and blue “O.”
Time to sharpen up the Buck Knife and buy that case of 12 ga. slugs. (:^*)
