According to US case law. The power to tax is the power to destroy, so the state government cannot tax federal government.

There are several arguments for taxing church and I can’t help but think that soon we will be just having a closer relationship between church and state if the pastors start pandering for the current government.

Lead culinary water pipes (or lead soldier) is a problem, but lead shower pans (that affect the sewer water) are the preference in many USA cities.

I cant wait for all circular saw blades to be diamond.

in number 3, did you mean “herbicides”

The thing is, I understand that some farmers were doing that, but some others were simply trying to grow soybeans, and they didn’t use herbicides, but Monsanto successfully sued them into never saving “soybean” seed ever again.

Different take: seed genome is like a MP3. Piracy (illegal copying) is enforced based on IP. Seeds doing it “naturally on a farm” just means that you have grounds to sue the farmer for not stopping illegal copying.

Step 1: protect the IP protected seed genomes

Step 2: sue the crap out of people growing those types of plants who arent paying you. Edit: these are all soy beans including “public seed”

Step 3: increase the price now that you have a monopoly on that kind of seeds
