This is one time you and I are going to have to disagree, FRiend.
This is going to take an incredible amount of money out of the local economy. And it will primarily hit RED STATES and Counties.
This tax is equal to, or exceeds, the margin of profit for most species.
My family will continue to have access to Grade A meat, whatever the government decides to do with this incredibly stupid proposal. But I'm not thinking about my family. I'm thinking about the millions of families who do not have the luxury of growing their own food.
This new tax will drive thousands of producers out of business leaving a huge gap in the producing market. Thus creating a shortage of protein.
Let's face it. This is a thinly veiled attempt by the enviros at the EPA to regulate the livestock industry out of business. And if it passes, they will succeed.

Obviously this cow tax proposal would threaten agriculture viability. So what’s going on? Are they serious? Yes? Is the goal to end up with a dozen ultra large corporate ranchers who control 80+% of the nations livestock. Such a group would certainly be easier for the UN ministers to deal with. Agenda 21 marches forward.
