EPA

If you still think that the Democratic party is the group that believes in giving power to the people, let's reflect on a moment from the Simpsons, and I ask you to put yourself in marge's shoes. She goes out her back door to find a screamapillar.



It's an annoying caterpillar that screams all day and night. When she goes to step on it, the EPA arrives and informes marge that because this endangered species has chosen her yard to live she is required by law to care for and protect this animal. Kind of a funny clip unless you realize the reality of it all. This kind of thing happens all the time. You and I pay taxes to the Environmental Protection Agency so that they can limit you rights. Yeah, we pay for an agency to put trees, oceans, glaciers, bugs, rodents, rocks, and every other living thing ahead of humans. If the Democrats are for the people like they claim to be, then why are they the ones who force us to pay for this agency? Republicans would love to shut this down. The Democrats say that it's "wrong" to abuse the environment and leave the mess to future generations. Well I say it's wrong to leave a mess to future generations, but what about leaving a financial mess for those future generations? When our gas, food, electricity, and tax payments are going up and up, we get further and further into debt, leaving our descendants to take those bills when we die. I would much rather breathe air that's a little less clean than spend my whole life in debt because the government controls everything and won't give me the freedom to decide whether I want to pay into the EPA or not. The oil, gas and electric companies have no freedom to provide cost efficient energy due to environmental policies, so I'm forced to pay over $4 per gallon of gas if I need it, and thus higher food prices.
