Feds Prepare To Tax Toilet Paper In Name Of Climate Change

The vampiric and gluttonous feeding frenzy currently being enjoyed by the federal government under the pretext of climate change is set to be expanded with a range of new taxes on products disposed of via waste water, including cosmetics, toothpaste and toilet paper.

The "Water Protection and Reinvestment Act," H.R.3202, introduced last week by Representative Earl Blumenauer (D-Ore), will be "financed broadly by small fees on such things as bottled beverages, products disposed of in wastewater, corporate profits, and the pharmaceutical industry," according to Blumenauer's fact sheet.

Though the taxes are "designed to be collected at the manufacturer level," only the most naive would doubt that multinational corporations would just pass the cost on to the consumer in the form of higher prices, as is routine.

Items disposed of in wastewater, such as toothpaste, cosmetics, toilet paper and cooking oil will be subject to a 3% excise tax, while water beverages will be hit with a 4% tax, "because these products wind up in the water stream and require clean up by sewage treatment plants," according to the bill.

The legislation also cites "climate change mitigation" as a justification for imposing the taxes. The Feds' new feeding frenzy will rake in around $10 billion dollars a year.
   
The bill even defines "toilet tissue" in section 4172. "The rulemaking to define what rises to the level of a bottom-wipe is in the name of a good cause: to tax the stuff," writes Chris Horner. "The current band of feds don't think you've paid enough tax — this has been established ad nauseam — and now want a dedicated revenue, er, stream, to pay to replace corroded pipes and overburdened sewer systems nationwide."

The necessity of cleaning up a water supply poisoned with the toxic soup of human disposals seems like a reasonable proposal, especially in light of evidence that antiandrogens in our rivers and lakes are contributing to global sperm reduction and essentially chemically sterilizing men, and yet when the filters are ready to be installed at water treatment facilities that would remove this junk, the government steps in and blocks them under the justification that they contribute to CO2 emissions.

The fact that the global warming feeding frenzy has now reached a level of insanity to the point where the federal government is essentially preparing to tax us to defecate and urinate shows how far down the line we really are. What's next? A tax on breathing? After all, we humans exhale that evil life-giving poisonous gas carbon dioxide. The New York Times actually introduced the idea of the government imposing a tax on breathing in a March 2007 editorial.

As we are lectured about the necessity of why we must have every aspect of our lives regulated and taxed in order to save the earth, we learn that the government's last efforts to do so, during the ozone layer scare of the 80's and 90's, actually harmed the environment.

The Washington Post reported on Monday that hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), introduced in the 90's to replace ozone-depleting gases in deodorants, fridges and air conditioners, actually "act like "super" greenhouse gases, with a heat-trapping power that can be 4,470 times that of carbon dioxide." So while the government was brow-beating us about the evils of emitting CO2 because it apparently caused global warming, they were actually mandating that we use a gas which contributed to global warming to an substantially greater degree.

I wonder if the voters of Oregon realized the representative was opposed to toilet paper, while they were shaking his hand?

I say we buy as much of all of these products as we possibly can previous to the tax increase. As as matter of fact, lets make everyone do it. Warehouses full.
