Blank Check for Socialism (Cow fart Tax!)

Mullin' It Over Column ^ | September 22, 2021 | Congressman Mullins (R) OK-02

[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.

Give the Federal Government an inch and it will take a mile. This is how the Clean Air Act got Carbon Dioxide declared a pollutant (it was never in that bill!) or used the 1934 Federal Communications Act to foist Net Neutrality upon us (Computers did not exist in 1934!). The usual suspects are denying this Methane Law will not apply to cows but we know they are lying. How so? The Democrats voted down a specific agricultural exemption! The lefts opposition to beef is well known so it’s quite possible this was their sneaky plan all along. We’ve seen this play countless times. It’s called The Law of Merited Impossibility or “That’s Not Happening and It’s Good That It Is”

Search it for cattle, beef, livestock. Nothing, nada, zip, zilch. I think Mullin’s confused.

[Pollard]

Those reading Mullin’s now-widely shared commentary could interpret it that way, but the congressman’s spokeswoman said Tuesday in an email to Tulsa World: “This is what could happen if the methane fee were applied to agriculture. Right now the text of the bill only specifies the oil and gas industry.”

...Search it for cattle, beef, livestock. Nothing, nada, zip, zilch.

The RATs claim the Methane Tax is just for the Oil Industry. So why did they vote down an agricultural exemption? Remember how the Income Tax was only for the very rich and would be tiny? Notice how that was not built into the amendment! I found nothing in a Google search. I did find it on a Go Duck Go Search and of course the left is denying it.

[Nateman]

...Right now the text of the bill only specifies the oil and gas industry.”

Remember the The Clean Water Act ? How they created all kinds of harassment under the navigable waters of the United States? Don't be fooled. Banning cows is their hidden agenda and this is how they intend to sneak it in.

Thanks.

[SaxxonWoods]

Wait, Joe said this bill wouldn’t cost a cent.

[SaxxonWoods]

Please, Blackstone isn’t buying 1% of what’s being sold.

[eyeamok]

18 months ago I told everyone this was going to be the biggest Land Grab in the history of the World,This party is just getting started!

[Pollard]

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

It will be yet another way of robbing wealth from conservatives and giving it to techies who will create lab made meat. Cattle are mostly raised in the flyover states and they hate those people. Lab meat will be made in some high tech places on the coast.

[Organic Panic]

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.

[Tommy Revolts]

Did you try Agriculture?

[Nateman]

...Wait, Joe said this bill wouldn’t cost a cent.

OK I take it all back. Joe is the most honest caring Politican America has ever had and he won in the cleanest fairest election ever! (Do I really need a sarcasm tag here?)

[BitWielder1]

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

So talk about useless legislation.

Libs are lousy at weighing pros and cons, because they are all cons.

*thinks* *lightbulb comes on over head*

Dang.... I hope no one ever has to pay tax for MY farts!!! O.o

[liberalh8ter]

And our unelected representative, Bill Gates, just recently touted the awesomeness of plant based meats (which he obviously plans to be the supplier of since he's in the process of gobbling up farmland).

[HandBasketHell]

Stolen elections have consequences.

And those consequences should rain down in a tidal wave of karma on the RINOs in the 2022 primaries.
