WHOOPEE!!! – Cow-tax lawsuit is the best news I’ve heard this long, hot, dry summer.
I never liked being taxed to fund “Government Speech,” so OCM’s lawsuit against U.S.D.A and it’s mismanagement of the cow-tax was the best news I’ve heard this long, hot, dry summer. And if Callicrate was sharp enough to con HSUS … Continue reading
