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.

‘(huge tariffs on imported items).’

the northern and southern states had been going back and forth over tariffs since the beginning of the nineteenth century, including the so called Tariff of Abominations in 1828, without resorting to secession and coming to blows;try again...

Durng WWII and meat rationing, we raised rabbits to provide meat. While Dad was off to the war, it fell to me as the oldest child to feed, water and butcher them. I guess I cold do it again if I had to, but I prefer to get my meat at the supermarket.

“...it became acceptable for politicians to use taxes to make people behave in ways politicians want them to behave....”

First they came for whiskey but many didn’t care...

Then they came for tobacco but many didn’t care....

The Democrats want to make America what it once was, a group of small Agricultural colonies, beholden to a ruling class.
