Debate: Environmental Laws vs. Job Creation?

Simple presentation, just ask the question and say YES.

Environmental laws DO NOT stifle job creation. If anything they create jobs.

Environmental laws stifle profit creation. Environmental laws exist because companies are (trying to save a $) taking shortcuts and being lazy. It's easier/cheaper to dump drums of toxins in the woods than to dispose of them properly - which costs money. Ultimately this drives up the cost of goods and services with environmental implications. Car batteries, tires and used oil are examples.

The laws exist because given the option companies/people won't do the right thing. They do whatever they can get away with for the least amount of cost.

In many areas of Taiwan, you can stay at a hotel and there is so much pollution in the air due to lack of government regulation that you literally CANNOT SEE THE BUILDING NEXT TO YOU. When I was visited by a team of salespeople from that country, they kept saying that they were AMAZED at how clear our air is here....

Any politician who says that we should dismantle the EPA should be thrown out on their ***.

Any other questions ??

Lets see

We can have companies dump chemicals in our lakes and streams making them unusable for hundreds of years so that they can hire an extra guy.

IMHO, if you've got to screw up the environment to make money with your business then you have no business being in business

WELL YOUR MAIN CONCERN SHOULD BE: " YOU DON'T SHET WHERE YOU EAT " AM I RIGHT? IF YOU END ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS GUESS WHAT ITS OPEN GAME TO ABUSE ALL ENVIRONMENT PERHAPS AND LIKELY WHERE YOU RESIDE NOW PICTURE LIVING IN AN ENVIRONMENT NOT MAN MADE BUT ENGINEERED! THEY TAKE THE FREEDOM OF FREEDOM BUT CONTAIN THE CONCEPT OF OWNERSHIP! I MEAN NO ONE OWNS THE FOREST BUT MAN CAN OWN AN OFFICE, BUT NOT A FOREST! SO REMOVING ENVIRONMENTAL LAWS REMOVES THE FREEDOM OF THE UN-OWNED FOREST!...MAN THRIVES WITH CONTROL THEY WANT MORE AND MORE MORE! THE FOREST CANT DEFEND SO THEY WANT THAT TOO.

Just hit the other speaker with a chair and turn it into Jerry Springer.

Accepting being poisoned in exchange for a few jobs is not a good trade, IMHO.

irrelevant.. you're talking corruption which is an entirely diff. subject.
