Lean: Centrist Gender:  | Re: EPA 'Cow Tax' Could Charge $175 per Dairy Cow to Curb Greenhouse Gases This proposal is one of the stupidest ideas the EPA has had yet!  A tax of that magnitude on every dairy cow would send the price of dairy products soaring, not to mention possible carryover to the beef industry.Damn these anti-animal activists who are hellbent on stopping the American citizen the right to eat a steak. |

Also, I don't understand why they're proposing that the tax on dairy cattle be twice as high as that of beef cattle. | |

according to the CA dept. of food and agriculture, it costs between 1.96 and 2.35 to produce a gallon of milk that is ready for stores. stores then sell a gallon of milk for what, $2.50-4.50 depending on brand? [cost of processing is regulated to keep the farmers from getting ripped off, but once they sell it to stores the stores can charge whatever they want for it.] considering how much retail stores profit from their merchandise, we can expect +$.08 production to be disproportionately represented in the ultimate cost of dairy products to consumers. | |
