If ordinary working-class Americans think the Environmental Protection Agency is protecting us and our children, we are deluded. We are not only the wrong demographic, we are the wrong species.
If the people of Flint, Mich., had been snail darters, salmon or spotted owls, they would have had the EPA’s immediate, undivided attention with funding and enforcement. EPA’s history vividly demonstrates its twisted, anti-human priorities, ignoring the first half of its mission to protect human health and the environment. Instead, using its WMD, the Endangered Species Act, it has been a key player in the destruction and export of our industries and with them, our jobs.
Some years ago in the Pacific Northwest, we watched as the EPA and environmentalists orchestrated the demise of the timber industry, with the loss of thousands of jobs. Not a single, green tear has ever been shed for the humans who pay the price of their agenda.
