Now, you may think this is an April Fool's joke, but it is not. The EPA started working well over five years ago on the sources of global warming and concluded that one major source is methane. Methane gas is a pollutant and contributes to global warming. Therefore, fellow citizens, cow farts are to blame and the EPA proposes to tax you according to the number of cows that you have.
That's a fact. http://www.steynonline.com/6218/introducing-obamacow
They're busy right now with their "Smart Fart Tax Meters" running around from pasture to pasture measuring how much methane a cow produces by weight, by breed, by sex, by type of feed and according to the average ambient temperatures of the day. One could image that in the immediate future they are going to use drones to fly over your property, count your cows and send you a tax bill.
Don't think for one moment that you can escape this tax by hooking your cows up to some device to collect the methane for use in heating the barn, either; the IRS is already working on an alternative energy use tax.
Of course, it's only a matter of time before they figure out that humans produce methane farts as well, and then they'll be after us to wear fart meters. Just think about how much money they're going to collect out of Congress, the White House and the Supreme Court. Now, if they'd just find a way to hook those folks up to some device to collect their methane farts, I guess we could quit standing up-wind from them, couldn't we?
