EPA Says Taking Over Private Property Will Benefit The Economy

Can the EPA run your property better than you? The Environmental Protection Agency says that its proposal to extend its regulatory powers over wetlands and waterways would produce economic benefits.

Republican lawmakers warn that the agency is trying to extend its power to regulate private property.

The EPA’s rule would redefine the term “waters of the United States” to include all “tributaries, regardless of size and flow, and all lakes, ponds and wetlands within a floodplain” reports E&E News. Other bodies of water, “such as geographically isolated wetlands, would have to be shown on a case-by-case basis to have a significant chemical, physical or biological effect on larger waterways downstream — a major point of concern for environmental groups” E&E added.

Yes, as the EPA has played a major role in improving the economy in the past.

NOT.

The goal of the EPA and state agencies is to push everyone into the cities.

Start shooting them. Hang their bodies from a pole, like a scarecrow.
This proposal will essentially give them power and control of about 85-90% of the land in this country. By people we never elected.
Keep cheering.
