If you tax meat then you better start taxing sugar too.

As do we in SD,  but its equally applied to food as well as tofu and wierd plants that nobody in their right mind would eat.

We get a new assessment on our property taxes for the street light on the block.

So i'm thinking fuck it... tax people for living within 10 miles of a deer.

I guess they need more money so they can spend more money.

I had never really wondered where they had gotten the funds to light the fucker for the last 40 years until they passed that nonsense.

Duluth retail sales tax was just raised a half percent to 8.875%  too...

obviously the peta proposal has nothing to do with generating money to help pay for health care,  its nothing more than the most thinly veiled attempt to reduce the consumption of red meat thusly saving all those animals from becoming what they are...  supper.

however the anti tax tone the thread has taken reminds me of a conversation i had with a sconnie transplant in my area.  I am a township supervisor and we live in a  very fiscally conservative area in terms of how we do things like snow removal, and other road maintenance, anyway the sconnie was constantly bitching about his road condition,  the maintenance schedule, and about everything else that wasnt tied to him... he would constantly drone on and on about how it was done in wisconsin.    so one day I had enough and asked him why the fuck if life in sconnie is so wonderful he ever left that nirvana and moved out here to the land of nothing... his response.... this is a classic... his response was "the taxes got to high".... talk about a slap yourself in the forehead moment.   I really let him have it at that point and we never did get along after that.

I think we should remember that we are already paying a ton
of taxes to support the production of what’s basically junk food which makes it
harder for people to eat healthy.  I’m
not a fan of having the government decide what’s healthy or not, and thus I’m
more a fan of removing the taxes already in place, paying more for crap food
which would make healthier food cheaper by comparison.


I do think we need to be more conscious of how all
manufacturing (not just meat) affects the entire population, whether it’s
factory farms causing a dead zone in the gulf of mexico, over use of antibiotics
causing superbugs, or creating new chemicals that are just released into usage
and letting the general population decide if they are safe by whether they get
sick or not.
