....and they promise to garnish Democrats and Republicans equally.

Wait....many Democrats don't have wages?

Someone, PLEASE tell me that a revolution is close at hand.

By-the-way, thank Richard Nixon for the EPA.

[FlingWingFlyer]

More out of control Nazism.

[Army Air Corps]

For the list.

[griswold3]

Nixon enabled the EPA by executive order.
(Notice the ‘non-Federal wages’ distinction?)

[x1stcav]

I can’t wait for it to start...no matter how it turns out.

[reg45]

Wouldn’t that violate the “takings clause” of the Constitution.

[VerySadAmerican]

There are so many people....there won’t be enough gallows and piano wire.

[I want the USA back]

Another agency that has been comandeered by the current occupant of the oval office.

[Steely Tom]

They’re just going to “borrow” the power.

[Blue Collar Christian]

And the beat goes on.

Actually, the EPA has always had the power to take everything you have if you have violated the rules/regulations.

I recall that being one of the lessons they touched on when I received my EHS Degree. That the EPA can come after the company, which is what they usually do for the deep pockets, but they can come after the individual as well.

And if you want to really get freaked out about the agency’s ability to do this...consider if someone contaminated some land, sold it to you, you sold it to someone else and decades later they ‘discover’ the contamination. You and everyone in the chain-of-custody can be held liable.

All without ever having to set foot in a true court of law.

Have a great day now!

If an obscure government agency can destroy a football team over its name, then certainly, ANY government agency feels it has the right to take your money.

The Federal Government is out of control.

Is there a link to where or how we can give our ‘feedback’ to the EPA?

Maybe FR could organize a contest for the most creative feedback delivered to the EPA... anyone game?

unless the agency receives enough adverse public comments by August 1.

Here's a comment.

F-you...

[Innovative]

“The notice went on to say that the EPA had fast-tracked the new rule, enabling it to take effect September 2 unless the agency receives enough adverse public comments by August 1. The EPA said the rule was not subject to review because it was not a “significant regulatory action.”

Better start sending in those comments...

I went to the EPA page, but couldn’t find where we can comment on this.

If someone know the link could you please post where we can comment on this specific plan.

[Logical me]

The EPA must be defunded immediately. Then a move to reorganize the EPA. A better use of America's resources must be the primary function with the people usage first most.

Can 'we the people' fast track our own rules and cite some arbitrary date in which objections must be made by? If so, instead of garnishing wages, I'm making the following rule; all forms of taxation are no longer compulsory and will instead be treated as philanthropic gestures which must be acknowledged with a hand-written 'thank-you' note, signed by all members of Congress . All objections to my rule must be sent by certified mail, to my home by 12:00 noon, today.

In the beginning the EPA did good stuff by cleaning up rivers esp. the East River in New York. For the first time there’s fish in it. It grew into the monolith it is today under Democrat rule.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Since CO2 is now a pollutant according to the EPA and I exhale the stuff does that mean I’m a polluter and should be fined? Can they garnish my paychecks as a result for exhaling?

[Red Badger]

Due process be damned....................
