Flatulence Tax what's next?

No we now have something worse. Hay is considered a Hazardous product and must be treated as such. Used hay is a hazardous waste product and must be treated as such when disposed of now. How are cattle farmers and other little farmers going to stay in business now? How are people going to afford to grow Hay if it must be treated as a Hazardous product and transported as such to the critters that need to eat it? I think Gore is behind this as he said recently that cattle were responsible for global warming and we should all become vegetarians.

Forgive me but... This is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard. To tax something like agricultural industry is to directly tax food. If they do pass such a tax, you can bet food prices will rise. And since food is one of those items we as humans have no choice but to buy, you can bet that rise in food prices will hurt the economy - or at least put a strain on already strained people. I can see a tax like this on industrial plants or other factories with a high level of dirty gas emissions. Such places can actually do something to limit their emissions output. But to tax animals for this? A cow can't help or reduce its emission output. It is just stupid to penalize something that can't be helped! It is just a sneaky way to milk the citizenry for more money. Something like this hasn't reached the States yet as far as I know. Instead there is another proposed tax: tax by the mile car taxes! That involved the government sticking a tracking device on one's car and then charging one for each mile one drives. Thankfully though that bill has not received a warm welcome.

Well as you all know, farts are flammable gas. As such that makes them an energy source. All forms of organically produced energy are taxable, as for example coal, oil, and natural gas. This would normally include humans too, but these are exempt as they don't even produce enough energy to support their own needs.
