    In the press release of party, Estonian farmers began to obtain the tax notices, according to which they must pay tax for the ejection into the atmosphere of methane, i.e., for stomachic methane produced by cows into air.

    Many farmers be situated from this tax requirement in the confusion, since, as is known, not in one other country of the EU methane isolated by cows into air is assessed taxes. "for the uniting European of the farmers of organizations COPA/COGECA the information obtained from the Estonian farmers became large surprise and they could not give analogous situation in one another of the countries THE EUROPEAN UNION", it emphasized Marrandi. "it seems to me that the problems with the state budget are actually very serious, once government decided to begin levied tax from the stomachic gas of cows", it noted Marrandi.

    just another example local politicians will try to hide their bad leadership/spending and when they need to raise taxes they blame it on 'europe'..

    What if the farmers claim that their cows don't fart? When pressed they can claim to feed their herds Beano.

    Let me tell you how it will be;
    There's one for you, nineteen for me.
    'Cause I'm the taxman,
    Yeah, I'm the taxman.

    Should five per cent appear too small,
    Be thankful I don't take it all.
    'Cause I'm the taxman,
    Yeah, I'm the taxman.

    (if you drive a car, car;) - I'll tax the street;
    (if you try to sit, sit;) - I'll tax your seat;
    (if you get too cold, cold;) - I'll tax the heat;
    (if you take a walk, walk;) - I'll tax your feet.

    Taxman!

    'Cause I'm the taxman,
    Yeah, I'm the taxman.

    Don't ask me what I want it for, (ah-ah, mister Wilson)
    If you don't want to pay some more. (ah-ah, mister heath)
    'Cause I'm the taxman,
    Yeah, I'm the taxman.

    Now my advice for those who die, (taxman)
    Declare the pennies on your eyes. (taxman)
    'Cause I'm the taxman,
    Yeah, I'm the taxman.

    And you're working for no one but me.

    Taxman!
