Scofflaw Government Tax Scam

American Scofflaw
Many years ago a scientist (I had my suspicions he might have been a mad scientist), who has since passed away, hired me to help him identify stocks that would decline in price in the event of a global cooling. I have forgotten a lot of the details of why he expected a global cooling instead of a warming, but I do remember him telling me that cows and cockroaches emitted significant quantities of greenhouse gas emissions through, well, farting.

This all comes to mind because Drudge is linking to a story about the EPA considering a tax on the owners of farting cows (and they all fart):

In a release last month, the New York Farm Bureau worked out the price tag to farmers of the farting cows tax, based on news put out on the proposed greenhouse gas tax of cattle by the EPA.

Since I am more of a tax cut guy, than an advocate of increasing government revenues, I say ditch the tax on farting cows and replace it with a tax credit for mailing in dead cockroaches to the IRS. You know, a per dead cockroach tax credit. Hey, we have to fight GGE.
