UNDATED—A smelly idea is causing a stink for some ranchers in one Texas town. You Decide…
The Environmental Protection Agency is considering putting a tax on cow and pig flatulence.
The EPA is considering the fee because the animals are classified as stationary sources of greenhouse gases.
Some argue the methane gas from the cows has been around for years.
The proposed tax would be determined on the number of animals owned.
The cost for hogs and beef cattle will cost less than 100 dollars each.
However, dairy cows cost $175…go figure.

This is the most idiotic thing I’ve heard in quite a while. If this is all our politicians and goverment agencys have to do, we need too start getting rid of them. What about people? they’ll have a meter strapped to our behinds next. I hope the news media would post every jokers name that introduced this non-sense.
