Blank Check for Socialism

Blank Check for Socialism

Washington, September 22, 2021

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

It’s like they plan to starve us into submission. Sort of a homegrown Holodomor. Because we are all nasty Kulaks.

“They’re coming at us from all directions now.”

It’s what they do. The GOP was too busy trying to contain Trump to actually get anything done. When the communists take charge, they push the agenda no matter what. And the GOP cowers, hoping to avoid getting in the way.

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.

In other words, EVERYBODY will be a target. The goal of the communists is to control every aspect of our lives.

It is WAY past time for patriots to target those that are our enemies. The employees of the IRS should be hanging from lamp posts.

We are in a fight for our lives folks.

Socialism is the wrong word.

People see the word socialism and think it’s like social security.

We need to call it what it really means.

Let’s call it Miragism.

It’s like a mirage.

It’s something that you think is there and good, but which actually turns out to be nothing.

Often, the mirage actually takes you in the wrong direction.

Given the Gov’t past behavior, I bet they are already tracking every transaction.

$500 per swine each year?

Two legged government swine are, of course, exempted?

Is it now "Four legs bad, two legs good"?

No mention of goats, favored meat of Muslims and Hispanics. Can't do anything to upset the dem base. I started a meat goat herd 1 1/2 years ago and will be harvesting any bucklngs born in the future. I also plan to get Kunekune pigs and will not be putting ear tags on them aka registering them with the USDA. Will be going big on the gardening next Spring and already have lots of heritage variety seeds.

A FReeper asked the other day, Will I be able to keep my cows? I predicted he wouldn't be able to afford to.

Pigs make very little methane which just goes to show this is not about the climate. It's about taking wealth from farmers and giving it to tech people that will make lab grown meat. Those farmers are a bunch of Bible thumping Trump supporters after all and they must be punished.

Second column is the one to look at. Camels put out more methane than cattle but there's not all that many of them. .

I like goat meat, and you can milk them. Its just hard as hell to keep them in a fence.
Hamburgers would cost $50 a piece, if you could find it.

Very first episode of DDD , goat burgers I made the day trip just to have them they are epic and no where near fifty bucks each try $8. Worth the trip if you are anywhere inside 300 miles from Tarpley Texas they raise the goats for the burgers btw.
