Each state has feral or wildlife that would go untaxed. EPA wake up. Who would pay for the 2.5 million feral swine in Texas? Each state has feral or wildlife that would go untaxed. EPA wake up.

It's just that everytime new regulation or "progressive" legislation is passed, it seems to end up benefiting some privledged cartel or trust or another. This is a game going back 100 years now.

Recently I found an article by R-Calf that states that the EPA put out the news release in question to point out what a cluster-F it would be it the Clean Air Act was expanded for greenhouse gases, so not too worry too much. http://www.cattlenetwork.com/Content.asp?ContentID=272484 I work in the agricultural industry and have been researching this topic.

Who else thinks we need another necessary resource (food) be outsourced overseas so we have to pay more for it, pay to transport it further, be at the mercy of more international shenanigans, be uncertain about quality and safety, and further ruin our balance of trade? Isn't the pipeline of dollars going to the Middle East for oil bad enough? So what will we see next? COWPEC? PIGPEC?
