YANG: I’ll Cut Down On Meat Consumption By Making It Expensive
GP ^ | 09/20/2019 | Joseph Curl

With all the problems in the world, Democratic presidential candidates are focusing on — meat.

During a climate change forum hosted by MSNBC on Thursday, longshot candidate Andrew Yang was asked by an audience member about “what policy adjustments” he’d make to “curb expansion and reduce the environmental impact of the cattle industry” in order to “reduce demand.”

“Cattle is very energy-consuming and energy-expensive. And if you project forward on what we would need to do to reduce emissions, you would want to modify Americans’ diets over time,” Yang said.

You know, my 3rd grade teacher was correct. America is great because LITERALLY ANYBODY can indeed run for President (no matter how stupid or ridiculous).

This is the DNC. They don’t want to govern, they want to rule.

That is their plan for everything.

I wonder if the courts might rule: unusual taxation is a form of control. If the feds slap a $100 per box of ammo tax, can that be considered infringing on the 2nd amendment. Especially when the enemies of the 2nd amendment admit it.

First our ARs and AKs, then our gas guzzling cars, now they want to grab our meat. Sounds like a job for buttplug.

Just think. There actually are people out there cheering hysterically when this moron opens his big mouth and mumbles his absurdities.

At some point in our nation’s history, it became acceptable for politicians to use taxes to make people behave in ways politicians want them to behave. The very first time it became clear this was happening, we should have risen up and thrown them out on the streets. Instead, we now have entire generations who want to use the government to get other people to do what they want - we’ve turned into a nation of whiny control-freaks.

Between my wife and I, we have lost 80 lbs by eating meat (reducing our carb intake). We are a lot more healthy now than we ever were - my blood chemistry results prove it too.
