'Cow Tax' Could Charge $175 per Dairy Cow to Curb Greenhouse Gases

This is what 'erks' me with the whole "global warming" scare tactics enduced by the Al Gore crowd.......

It is ALL about the money.....NOT what is best for this earth....or the people that live here. :mad:

Ice caps and glaciers are melting and not regenerating.  Where will this water go?  There is photographic proof of this.  You can't deny that weather phenomenon has become extreme - hurricanes, tornadoes, typhoons, drought, etc...  This doesn't just happen on its own.  

And how about a happy medium?  Even if you don't believe in Global Warming as it has been stated, can one not believe that we need to take care of our planet, support the life that lives here, and preserve it for future generations?  

I think EVERYBODY is in favor of taking care of our planet....but we cannot TAX our way into fixing it...

sounds good.  has a nice ring to it.  might even be true (maybe not).  but it has no real substance.  just another sound bite from the republican machine that you're supposed to repeat.

got any idea what will "fix" it?

encourage entrepreneurs and scientist to continue to develop better and more efficient technologies..........heck, we have already come a long ways...........I just think the whole carbon tax, gas tax, cow tax, Kyoto Protocol to just name a few...BAD IDEAS, are the wrong way to handle the problem...

I think it should be, to allow private investors to invest it's money under a tax shelter....such as allow money to be given to R&D, and NOT having it's return on it's investment taxed to death.....let Americans use it ingenuity and capitalize on developing better and more efficient energies...

But isn't that some of the very same methodology that brought about the current debacle surrounding big oil? They file exploration under R & D, along with anything else they can, to get out of paying taxes on their profits. . .

How ever you slice it it's ridiculous to tax a bodily function whether it be a cows or ours which could possibly happen if they keep it up.

ok, i have to explain further:  this magic investor money, which would have been taxed, now goes to a non-taxable investment -- creating a larger tax deficit.  so where does the money come from to fill that hole?
