Slaves to the EPA

Slaves to the EPA

sung to the tune of BORN IN THE USA

Born down in a normal town
The first crime I did was when I exhaled air
My parents criminal act was using heat too much
Till they spend half their life just paying up

Slaves to the EPA, We are owned by the EPA
I owe my life to the EPA, Owned by the EPA

My SUV is a little homegrown jam
So they put a golf cart in my hand
It was made in a foreign land
To pay back bill to the yellow man

Slaves to the EPA, We are owned by the EPA
I owe my life to the EPA, Owned by the EPA

Come back home to the refinery
Hiring man said we are closing see
Went down to see solar man
He said son, don't you understand

I had a brother at EXXON
Drilling wells that last so long
They're not there, plugged and gone

He had a pickup he loved in Houston
I got a picture of it in Gov hands now

Down in the shadow of the penitentiary
Gas fires out in the refinery
I'm ten years burning down the road
Nowhere to run ain't got nowhere to go

Slaves to the EPA, We are owned by the EPA
I owe my life to the EPA, Owned by the EPA
Owned by the EPA,
I'm a fool sucking victim of the EPA.

The threat of the Epa ruling was used as a hammer by the Rats to coerce a Cap & Trade bill-—seems they jumped the gun. The Epa cabon endangerment ruling with affect every aspect of our lives.

This is a mandate, NOT PASSED LEGISLATION. Using the ancient clean air act, passed by the Supremes in a vote on a lawsuit is draconian in the extreme. These words don’t even begin to express my outrage.

When the government says they can regulate breathing, we have a problem.

Large scale farmers whose stock exhale from both ends are going to cost them mucho. Prepare for higher food prices. Oil & gas compaies who drill hundreds of wells will also have to pay, Prepare for higher fuel prices. This doesn’ t even touch refineries and coal burning power plants, gas burning planrs, etc. ad infinitum , ad nauseum. Prepare for higher energy prices.

The smart grid will enable individual energy use. prepare for restrictions on your heating and cooling if you are xubject ot smart grid scrutiny.

If I remember right, the SCOTUS ruling specifically charged the EPA to provide their own scientific study that proved endangerment; Jackson says she relies primarily on the 2007 IPPC report.

This should already have been challenged and SCOTUS appealed for relief.

The EPA has become an extra constitutional agency as bad as the IRS. It should definitely be done away with by congress, but the libs love it because it gives them so much power.

I heard today at a major O&G company that there are multiple lawsuits gearing up. I hope they swamp this abortion of a finding with nasty lawsuits.

I heard this and began to breathe so heavily I almost passed out! I then realized I was trying to get rid of all the poisonus CO2 in my lungs!
I remembered my old first aid rule about hyperventelating! I needed to get a paper sack, blow the poisonus CO2 into it and suck it back into my lungs!

But, CO2 IS POISONUS! The EPA said so! What can I do? I can’t live with it because of the EPA and I can’t live without it!
