Title: EPA asserts authority to garnish wages of "polluters"
Post by: Glock32 on July 09, 2014, 10:32:36 AM

The EPA is now asserting its authority to directly garnish wages of those it has fined for "pollution".  I use scare quotes because you are well aware of what they have shown themselves prepared to call "pollution" -- i.e. people using rain barrels or building ponds in their yard, and in one particularly egregious case accusing a couple of damaging a wetland when it was nothing more than heavy rain creating large puddles.

Here's the real take home message from this story:

The amount of fines raked in by the agency has jumped from $96 million in 2009 to $252 million in 2012, a more than 160 percent increase, according to EPA annual reports.

Gee. What a big surprise.

Everything the progessives do is meant to destroy what is good, punish what is good and accrue more ill-gotten power unto themselves...

Go ahead, garnish away...

The end result of their acts can only end in a Darwinian settling of issues...

I'll garnish their graves with my feces...

We have toilets that don't flush and gas cans that dribble instead of pour. If not now, it had better be damn soon. ::pullhair::
