Some Republicans want to gut the EPA which, ironically, was created by another Republican, Richard Nixon.

So what's wrong with shutting the EPA down? If you really need to ask that question, then just take a glance at China.

It has no say in China, I think that's the point. If we want our environment to be like that of China, then the first step is to see to it that the EPA has no say here either.
