I must have missed when the term "free-market" came to mean "Buying off the government to let me do what I want".
no see....in INGOtarian land, the government can't tell you what to do. The free market will sort itself out.

hooray for free market enviromental controls! Wouldn't everybody prefer the good folks at Dupont decide how much chromium we drink and not some silly .gov science man? Aren't we lucky to live in the USA where big companies put people over profits?
This is a really stupid post. I'm not surprised that you don't know any better, I just wish that you did.
What's so stupid about it.
Do you really believe that the U.S. would be a cleaner place if govt environmental regs didn't exist?
Nice straw man there. You sure beat the stuffing out of HIM. Precisely who in this thread said anything about NO gov. environmental regs? What exactly is being accomplished by these regs? Besides stifling economic growth, and decreasing the availability of jobs I mean. Notice how China doesn't bother with such nonsense for the most part? Perhaps they know something we don't. Or, perhaps our regs do NOTHING to "preserve the environment" in light of the fact that China will eventually overtake our economic output (if they haven't done so already) and any small gains made by us in "clean living" will be completely undone. I know that leftists are all about imagery, and have ZERO substance behind their pathetic mental diarrhea that can only laughingly be called "ideas", but please, try harder next time. You simply embarrass yourself, and waste my time.
In their defense, they had to "enact it in order to see what was in it"Here is what happens on January 1, 2015:
1. Top Medicare tax went from 1.45% to 2.34%
2. Top Income Tax brackets jumped from 35% to 39.6%
3. Top income payroll tax went from 37.4% to 52.2%
4. Capital Gains tax jumped from 15% to 28% (home sale)
5. Dividend Tax rate jumped from 15% to 39.6%
6. Federal Estate Tax jumped from 0% to 55%
Not one single Republican voted for any of those increases. These increases are all from the
Affordable Care Act the Democrats shoved down our throats without even reading it.
