Just when you thought the radical green agenda couldn't get any more absurd, footage has emerged from a local city council meeting that should have every red-blooded American reaching for their pitchforks — or at least their voter registration cards.
A liberal city council member was caught on camera proposing what can only be described as economic warfare against working families: a $50 per pound tax on beef, all in the name of "fighting climate change."
You read that right, folks. Fifty dollars. Per pound. On top of what you're already paying at the grocery store.
The Left's War on Your Dinner Table
This isn't just about hamburgers and steaks anymore, Patriots. This is about control. The climate cult has moved past asking you to recycle and carpool — now they're coming directly for your refrigerator, your grill, and your family's Sunday dinner.
The proposal, which surfaced in viral footage circulating on social media, shows the council member arguing that meat consumption is a "climate emergency" that requires immediate government intervention. Their solution? Price ordinary Americans completely out of one of the most basic, protein-rich foods in the human diet.
Let's do some quick math here. A typical family barbecue with a few pounds of ground beef would suddenly cost an extra $150-200 in taxes alone. A nice ribeye for date night? That'll be an extra hundred bucks, please — payable to bureaucrats who'll use it to fund bike lanes nobody asked for.
Rules for Thee, Private Jets for Me
Here's what really burns patriots up about this whole scheme: the same elites pushing these punishing taxes on working families have absolutely no intention of changing their own lifestyles.
While they lecture you about the "carbon footprint" of your burger, they're flying private jets to climate conferences in Davos. While they demand you eat bugs and lab-grown mystery meat, they're dining on wagyu beef at exclusive fundraisers. While they tax your grocery bill into oblivion, they're living in oceanfront mansions that Al Gore promised would be underwater twenty years ago.
The hypocrisy isn't a bug — it's the feature. This was never about saving the planet. It's about creating a two-tiered society where the ruling class enjoys abundance while the rest of us are forced into government-approved poverty.
What This Really Means
Make no mistake: proposals like this aren't fringe anymore. They're the logical endpoint of the Green New Deal mentality that has infected the Democratic Party from top to bottom. Today it's a local city council. Tomorrow it's a state legislature. Next year, it's Congress.
This is exactly why President Trump's "Drill, Baby, Drill" energy agenda and his administration's war on climate extremism matter so much. The radical left won't stop until they've regulated every aspect of your life — what you drive, where you live, what temperature you keep your house, and now what you eat.
Thank God we have adults back in charge in Washington who understand that American energy independence and American prosperity go hand in hand — and that the government has no business standing between you and your steakhouse.
Time to Fire Back
So here's the question every American needs to ask themselves: How much more are you willing to take before you say "enough"?
These out-of-touch radicals only understand one language — and that's the ballot box. Every school board, every city council, every state legislature matters. The left has been playing the long game for decades, infiltrating local government while we weren't paying attention.
It's time to pay attention. It's time to show up. And it's time to tell these green tyrants exactly where they can shove their $50 burger tax.
Your move, Patriots.
