Hearing the EPA declare themselves the Protector of the People against CO2 sent chills down my spine – in a VERY bad way. I remember vividly what happened the last time there was a Democrat in the White House and the power he ruthlessly wielded against businesses through OSHA under the guise of protecting employees against workplace hazards.
At that point I was working for a major corporation in the private sector. The Clinton Administration decided they were going to enforce the codes in OSHA’s regulation books to the letter. Any company out of compliance could be harassed, fined, arrested and/or locked out. With no more ‘due process’ than an inspector with a grudge companies were made to jump through hoops like a pony in a circus. Big companies were their cash cows. The OSHA reps seemed to think there was no end to the gravy train they could drain from companies, so they cut into companies with a vengeance to hack into the profits. It was a bloodbath for a long time as companies fought to save their lives.
Now it’s worse.
Now we have a Supreme Court ruling indicating CO2 is a poison – which it IS in concentrated amounts, but not the levels it is found naturally in the atmosphere. Why let truth get in the way of a good lie? Add to that the recent revelations in the hacked emails and the unraveling of the code used to build the climate models there is a total meltdown of the Climate Change movement. The Left knows if they are going to act and get away with their hoax they are going to have to move now. And they did. Without waiting for action by Congress, the EPA has announced they will take the CO2 issue into their own hands to protect the public. They have told Congress they can act, but if they fail to deliver the bill the EPA and President Obama feel they SHOULD have they are going to push forward on their own.
Applying the OSHA model under President Clinton to the EPA under President Obama – we’re in REAL trouble. The people in charge of the country today are determined to bring ALL companies to heel. We have already been led to believe that all companies are paying their executives too much money in salaries and bonuses. We have been told profits are EVIL. We hear every day from Obama that he wants companies to start hiring – create jobs – and hear no mention of keeping costs in line or what it will so to their profits. The line of logic put forth by Obama is contrary to business instincts. Companies will create jobs as they have a need, not to trash their bottom line to make the president happy – at least not yet. Protecting themselves is instinct. The objective in a free market is to turn a profit.
So, the stage is set.
To the people heading this attack from the EPA profits are the antitheses of their objectives. The EPA officials are the same kind of people who spearheaded the attacks in the 1990s and they have no place in their hearts for corporations or management. They are impressed by the POWER they will be able to wield and their ability to make management jump. They’ll be vicious and they have a MISSION. They will be able to wrap themselves in the piety of protecting the public and use that mantle to smother the private sector into submission.
Democrat administrations have been the same since FDR. They are all about power and the destruction of businesses large and small – the Private Sector. To these people profit is a dirty word and management is always oppressive. It’s NEVER about logical decisions – it’s about slaying some perceived injustice that does not apply to 99% of those they will be destroying.
They feel they are evening the playing field – while in the end THEY are the ones who are oppressive with their ‘good intentions’ and destructive of the very businesses that employ the people the Libs claim they want to protect.
