What Do You Think Of PeTA Wanting An Excise Tax On Meat?
PETA Proposes Excise Tax on Meat
From the USSA
Are you a meat and potatoes kind of guy? If you like a good burger and fries, or fried chicken and biscuits, animal activists think you ought to pay more for your meal.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has kicked off a new “Tax Meat” Campaign, proposing a $.10 per pound excise tax to be paid on meat, the same way that gasoline, tobacco, and alcohol taxes are paid so that tax is calculated into the retail price.
PETA suggests that money raised by its “Tax Meat” scheme could be “put into health education and preventative medicine.” Translation - the money could be used to advocate vegetarian and vegan diets and promote the animal rights movement.
Animal activists have also asked federal lawmakers to give tax breaks to those who have sworn off the consumption of animals.
On May 30, PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk sent letters to Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives Nanci Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid urging them to extend vegetarians the tax breaks that hybrid car owners receive for purchasing vehicles with low carbon emissions. She claims vegetarians are responsible for fewer greenhouse-gas emissions and environmental degradations than meat-eaters.

I think that eating meat is a way of life. Unlike smoking, we were meant to eat meat. It is called a food chain (real new thing).
For the health care system and vegan diets are generally less of burden on the health care system and have fewer insurance claims might be okay with it if it if it.

I wish peta would just go away already they are on the same level of stupidity as Al Gore and his global warming crowd, just a way for a bunch of freaks to make some easy money dupping idiots into thinking the world is a horrible place and Americans are terrible people and only they can save us from us.
