I’m insisting from now on that government officials follow all proposed guidelines for two years before imposing rules on the rest of us. When the environmentalists and politicians stick catalytic converters up their asses and stop exhaling for two years, then we can discuss the detrimental effects of farm animals.
And just what would this tax accomplish? Getting cows and pigs to stop producing methane?
I don't think so.
Oh come on now, you exaggerate. Such a tax would create an abundance of new “green” jobs and the price of beef and pork would certainly fall to new lows. Employment would soar!

i for one will give up my herd as it will get way to expensive.
score one for the PETA herd
How would those desk jockeys ever know. They would never get off their asses to check anyone out. Prolly wouldn’t recognise a cow or pig (unless it had lipstick).
Inmates are running it? No
Aliens
Give new meaning to the phrase “making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear.”
It almost certainly would start Texas tipping over the edge to secession. We have an awful lot of cows here.

Here it comes.....
Not to worry. I read where they are able to clone a ‘meat’ product now without having to have an animal? Don’t know if I would want to eat it though. Just grow it in a test tube. Sounds delightful.
Is it just pigs and cattle or haven’t these idiots figured out that people will end up eating goats, rabbits, guinea pigs, sheep, and, um, ...whatever?
Congressional Stew
1 liberal congressman
20 onions, chopped
25 carrots, sliced

15 granny smith apples

1 bottle of white wine.
1 ginger root
2 T thyme
1 C brown sugar

Gut congresscritter. Don’t save the liver unless it’s a first term congresscritter. Anything older and the liver
will be useless.
Remove any parasitic lobbyists attached to congresscritter’s rear.
Debone the congresscritter. You will notice that most of them come with their spines already removed.
Be sure to remove lymph nodes and earmark glands. Save the tenders for a special occasion.
Gird the loins. I’m not sure what for but we can ask the forBiden question later.
Set aside two rump roasts. Everything else is useless fat to feed your dogs.
Parboil the rump roast with the bones, half the onions, half the garlic and the cayenne. Remove bones and excess grease from broth. Add wine and reduce.
Cube roast into 2” chunks. Put everything into the kettle and bring it to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer ...
If they want to limit greenhouse gases, the EPA should close Congress.
I truly believe that somewhere in a dark room sits a committee whose sole purpose is to nickle and dime us to death. Soon our lawn tractor will become a luxury vehicle and will need a license and the EPA will want its share for the exhaust my electric dryer emits.
Cow tax?
Dear Lord, please make them not be so stupid, it’s an embarrassing sight to behold...the whole world is watching us turn stupid. Also, dear Father, please help us to have enough money to live on and make the next 4 years, two months, and two days and ten minutes, go VERY fast. Amen.
What about the million metric tons of gas that emanates daily from Washington? That should be taxed too.
Deport all the illegal aliens and tax beans, leave my meat and milk alone!!!
