The "Fart Tax" Scam

It started with cow farts. This is one of the most ingenious cons ever regarding taxes. I hope the person who came up with it got a big bonus, because it’s a billion dollar idea. Every living being farts. Cows fart; horses fart; so do pigs, sheep, dogs, cats, even BUGS fart. So far, they’ve limited it to cow farts. They’ve assigned a “fee” (tax) for every cow a farmer or rancher owns, assuming a certain number of farts per day, and per year, putting a “fee” for each assumed fart, that the farmer or rancher has to pay. It’s yet another tax scam, and it’s “just beginning.” As Dumocrats (liberals) are fond of saying, “It’s a good start.” Soon, they’ll come up with a new IRS form, maybe called “Form 10 Fart-Y” or something like that, which every citizen will have to file, where they must estimate how much every living being that farts in their behalf farts, and assigning a “fee” to each fart, and they will be expected to pay it. They gave the tax an impressive-sounding name, “Agricultural Emissions Tax” to make it sound like something important. The fact is, every living being farts, and always has. It’s a natural emission and has no more effect on the environment than do most of the things they blame for global warming/climate change. Watch. The next step will probably be horses. Then the “flood gates” open and everybody will have to pay a “fart tax.” (Wikipedia)
