There is nothing insatiably greedy moonbats won’t tax — not even flatulence:

New Zealand has revealed plans to tax burps and farts from livestock in an attempt to reduce its emissions of methane gas.

New Zealand is well known for sheep.

The nation is a major exporter of meat and dairy products: roughly 5 million people live in New Zealand compared to 10 million cattle and 26 million sheep.

Whether those who voted for Covid tyrant Jacinda Ardern’s leftist Labour Party are double counted as both people and sheep is unclear.

New Zealand would be the first nation to tax belching and flatulence.

Not exactly something to build a national identity upon.

Andrew Hoggard, a dairy farmer and the national president of Federated Farmers of New Zealand, said he largely approves of the plan in a statement provided to the BBC.

Enthuses Hoggard, “[L]ike all of these types of agreements with many parties involved, there’s always going to be a couple of dead rats you have to swallow.”

Presumably taxing burps and farts will reduce them by forcing farmers to kill off their livestock. If this exacerbates impending food shortages badly enough, it may even help kill off some carbon-emitting humans.

Leftists haven’t yet taxed the flatulence emitted from their own mouths as they pretend that the weather is a problem and that they can control it by confiscating other people’s money. That might raise some real revenue.
