The Tyrannical Rule of the EPA Richard Nixon, in what he thought was great wisdom, offered an olive branch to the left wing anti - war party back in the early 70's by letting them create the Environmental Protection Agency. Needless to say the hard left took that as a sign of weakness and has been beating down the right ever sense. Rules& Regs Through its staunch rules of enforcement the first move is to crucify energy companies like coal and oil then to slam fines and penalties to make examples of them. The left wants to make it very hard for capitalism to succeed in the world because that is not what they are about. Unconstitutional The Clean Air Act that empowered the legislation for the EPA was flatly unconstitutional. Article 1, Section 8 of the United States Constitution gives the federal government power to regulate Commerce with foreign Nations, and among the several States, and with the Indian Tribes. The EPA does not have the power it thinks it has, but there is money to be made so they struggle on making companies jump through so many legal hoops that some eventually run out of budget in their capital for such things. Eco - Tyranny
This broad leverage that was given to the EPA was used as a hammer to slam businesses they did not like, regulate the output of their industrial waste and processes, and even go on so far as to tell business what the make-up of the atmosphere should be as well. This allowed the EPA to go to war with businesses spending taxpayer money to try and shut them down if they did not happen to like the business they were in. The War on Oil & Gas After the giant explosion and oil leak on a British Petroleum platform that caused a major incident in the Gulf of Mexico the regime in D.C. seen fit to impose a moratorium on drilling in the Gulf. This cost Louisiana $400 million in revenue and 137,000 oil related jobs plus tax revenue that the oil companies and its workers would have paid the feds. This was an astonishing move of foolishness that denies workers an income, denies the collection of taxes that continues to this day when the federal government looks for ways to put money in the treasury. Suspended Drilling in Alaska The Department of Interior has stonewalled any attempts for drilling in Alaska while the Secretary of the Interior is now trying to shackle any attempts to harness shale oil in the Mountain West that, thank goodness, is not working for them. The Result
What has happened is a concerted effort to keep the United States citizens wholly dependent on foreign oil from the illegal oil monopoly of OPEC. Why do we dance to the tune of countries that are hostile to America putting money into Dictator's coffers making them richer while workers at home are without jobs? This only empowers dictators to abuse its own population and in Syria’s case it has killed and gassed any attempt to overthrow the powers that be. Oil & Natural Gas Provides 3. 3 million Jobs What natural gas & the oil companies provide for the economy is 3.3 million workers employed in America which is vital to our citizen's pursuit of happiness, provides a very valuable investment for shareholders, helps develop our resources in the shale industry, and puts tax money in the treasury of these United States when our country is running a huge deficit. The EPA and the Gestapo are Synonymous Why do we let the EPA choose who will succeed and who will fail in our society? Pushing the Green agenda has become environmental terrorism while denying others the ability to feed their families. The EPA is an official arm of a government sponsored Gestapo movement to deny our citizens their right to their vision of what America should be. Such tactics were used in Nazi Germany to coerce its citizens to cow tow to the
Nazi state and those that objected were rounded up and disappeared later to be slaughtered in concentration camps. Deliberate Policies This is not about the environment, this is about control. The environmentalist Left, the present socialist regime in D.C. and the EPA are all working together to take control of the economy away from the American people and move towards a centrally directed, socialist system. Increasing gas prices, falling oil production, and a slowing economy aren't policy failures - they are deliberate policies by this president. Conclusion Democratic socialism has failed miserably in Europe. The nanny state of Greece has borrowed more money this year from the IMF and will soon be at the public trough again. Spain, Portugal, as well as Italy are all in the same holding pattern waiting to collapse. To think that such failure would work here in these United States is a complete and utter misconception of how society should work. Success is driven through free market capitalism not through the redistribution of other people's hard earned wealth. The socialist states of China where millions were murdered under Chairman Moe Se Tung, the former Soviet Union where a known 60 million Russians were killed during the Stalin era, the
killing fields of Cambodia under Pol Pot where millions disappeared in re-education camps; these were all socialist states that killed their own people to institute communist socialism that has become a complete failure. To think that some ideologue at the top of the food chain in America has a better idea than the failed states is absolutely absurd. Democratic socialism did not work then, will not work now, or ever. It is a failed belief that will only bring on more of the same misery and hardship. Americans fought and died in Korea and Vietnam against foreign socialism, suffered during the cold war against the Soviet Union; why do our leaders believe that we need to follow a failed system that our forefathers fought against?
