Link to that bill? Plaster it everywhere it needs to be stopped.
I know produce farmers taxes have gone sky high almost double to triple previous years.. they are trying to recoop vaccine costs through the food supply chain. After all a lot of states don't charge tax on food..
Someone has to pay for it.. might as well be the even more essential food supply chain.. as it has the most cash flow.
It's only going to get worse when Kamala takes over.. which they are expecting in 3ish weeks or so rumor has it.

Yeah, if you tell me "I get it" then all I have to add is I disagree. Your call seems like something just out of spite and also putting everyone in the same basket. Your argument is childish. It's like a call to double down to not make them look, by your definition, hypocrites.
So in your mind they, the people working in the medical field, should now be forced to vaccinate, because they asked for masks, lockdowns and distancing before?
That is your logic?
lol.

Just like the 6,500 tax per cow and pig tax will stop all production,
Please tell me you're joking about that...
Aug 10 2021
WASHINGTON – As Senate Democrats try to ram through their partisan, more than $3,500,000,000,000 “Bernie, Biden reckless tax-and-spend spree,” U.S. Senator Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) successfully added her amendment—with bipartisan support—to block Democrats from imposing a costly new “Cow Tax” on Iowa farmers and ranchers. Ernst took to the Senate floor to bar any new permits or federal methane requirements on livestock that could increase the cost of beef or other critical products.
Does the 2021 infrastructure bill include a $6,500 tax on dairy cows, $2,600 per head tax on beef cows and $500 per head tax on swine? No, that's not true: There is no such language in the infrastructure legislation,

Yet, on Sept. 22, 2021, Rep. Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) posted an opinion piece on his website criticizing the spending bill and claiming the language includes a methane emissions fee for agriculture. This article was widely distributed through social (and other) media, gaining significant attention for Mullin in the process. Here is an excerpt:
By now, you have probably heard about President Biden’s $3.5 trillion “Build Back Better” bill and all the empty promises in it. The truth is that it will do nothing to build our country up. Instead, this is a blank check to take our country into socialism…In an attempt to eliminate fossil fuels, this legislation would impose a “fee” on all methane emissions, including in our agriculture industry. We all know that a fee is just a tax and that consumers are the ones who will pay for it. The tax is estimated to cost $6,500 per dairy cow, $2,600 per head of cattle, and $500 per swine each year. That is more than what the animals are worth, it’ll run ranchers out of business.
