I completely disagree. It might do so on A level, but it is no replacement for true human connection. Everyone will, eventually, need someone with their skin on in order to have a true, balanced and healthy life.

So let's think this through ... Farmer owns cows. People eat his products. Cows fart (so do humans so to be fair, we should tax human farts, too). People tax cow farts and burps. Farmer can't afford to pay taxes per head of cattle so he reduces inventory. Farmer no longer can feed people who eat his products ... people go hungry. (Or die from eating too many man-made products that also require a bigger carbon footprint).

Seems logical to me.

Edit: Oh, BTW ... Farmer and his friends all still have meat on their tables because his neighbors still benefit from the farmer/rancher's work. But all you city dem/libs ... I hope you like the world you've created.
