There is nothing Democrats won’t tax. One of the multiple blowout spending bills they are trying to ram through even includes a tax on dirt.

They want mining companies to pay tax on the soil they move. The greed isn’t even the worst of it. They want to suppress mining. As we have seen with Biden’s War on Energy, envirofascists are calling the shots.

Even some Democrat Senators are getting cold feet as the radical left tries to impose its deranged agenda.

Via Fox News:

Democratic senators from mining-heavy states appear to be rattled by their House of Representatives counterparts’ assault on the mining industry in their $3.5 trillion budget bill.

Two Democrats on the Senate’s Energy and Natural Resources Committee have spoken out about a provision in the behemoth budget bill that would make mining operations on federal lands costlier by imposing new taxes and royalty fees on those operations.

One of them is Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV), who notes that most of the land in Nevada is owned by the federal government. The federal government owns 47% of all land in the West. She observes that imposing this punitive tax “would create uncertainty for the industry … that supports thousands of jobs across the country.”

That’s the idea. Biden’s handlers want to do to mining what they are doing to the energy industry: hamstring it by putting federal land largely if not completely off limits and throwing deplorables out of work, so that they will be at the mercy of Big Government for handouts, Democrats being the party of handouts.

Another anxious Democrat Senator is Martin Heinrich (D-NM), who wishes his party would take a less “zealous approach.”

Those who don’t like leftist zealots and the havoc they create should be baling out the Democrat Party in droves.
