1) Estonia’s Flatulence Tax; 2) Stimulus Checks
Thanks to The Astute Bloggers (via The Midnight Sun and the Russian news service Novosti), we learn that:
“Estonian farmers have received tax notices for methane emissions from their cattle, the country's opposition party, the People's Union of Estonia, said on Thursday.”
Estonia follows the lead of New Zealand, where according to Novosti:
“authorities in New Zealand proposed introducing a flatulence tax saying that New Zealand cattle are responsible for 90% of the country's methane emissions and 43% of greenhouse gas emissions.”
Back to the U.S., a cartoonist has discovered how the federal government gets the money to pay for those fiscal stimulus rebate checks it send taxpayers (HT: Club for Growth).
