I have little time to discuss liberty with renters.
Are you fucking serious?
You right wing elitists. You think people that don't own property are not actual member of your society?

The EPA imposed NEW, more stringent regulations, that U.S. Steel found impossible to quickly meet. It wasn’t permanently closed, but it was closed temporarily. Until U.S. Steel finally met them (with their customers footing the bill) or until the union came on too strong, or until the briefcase filled with cash was handed from the proper person to the proper person.
Ha ha. More assertions with no evidence. I see you have changed your tune and now acknowledge that US Steel did not shutter the Gary plant. DO you know anything about this case and the pollution that was involved? You accuse the EPA of taking bribes but have no evidence. You might want to have some evidence before making such accusations.

Re: Minnesota Care
I think you'd find that a lot of Republicans favor state run programs.
The republicans are trying to shut these state programs down. They are working hard to shut down Minnesota Care and Badgercare here in Wisconsin. They want the poor and disabled to fend for themselves

If milk, carrots, and drinking water tasted bad, it would be a good indicator. If one company’s milk or carrots tasted better than another company’s, company #1 would get the business and make more money. Of course I realize that one company isn’t in a position to test another company’s product, and taste isn’t always foolproof, some poison is tasteless. If testing is required, it should be up to the states to do it, each in their own way as they see fit.
This is as asinine an argument as you have ever made. You do realize that the companies selling the veggies to the public are not the companies that would be doing the polluting. The original polluters could be hundreds or thousands of miles away. Do you think there is some sort of magic barrier at state lines?
Most environmental issues aren’t about pollution crossing state lines that one state finds objectionable while another does not.
Bullshit. This is just one of your unevidenced assertions. Does reality mean anything to you. Please explain how environmental issues are stopped by statelines. Did the BP blowout just effect one state? Why do you think states banded together to combat unregulated smokestack emissions?
This isn't even dogma. You are spouting crap that can be very easily shown to be blatantly false.
