Midnight Enviro Rules Expose the Real Bush Agenda: Preventing Change

All of those things may be true, but during the time that slavery was officially abolished, at least, and historically - the republicans were the LIBERALS, and the democrats were the CONSERVATIVES. At least that's they way things were taught, according to my American history books.

On another note . . .

There is ALSO evidence to support the idea that, while slavery OFFICIALLY ended in Lincoln's time, with The Emancipation Proclamation - it didn't ACTUALLY end until the 1940's or 1950's - when southern conservatives stopped having "indentured servants" - most of who were African / American - in the coal mines.

So if THAT is what you are referring to, you may be correct.

I guess it depends on which century slavery was actually abolished.

Midnight Enviro Rules Expose the Real Bush Agenda: Preventing Change

While it will not solve every single problem, that these last minute midnight deregulations have brought upon us, there is a simple solution for some of them. New laws should be brought about - using the same type of presidential executive orders that Bush used - that will tax any company that takes advantage of these midnight deregulations into oblivion. Call it a disincentive tax if you will.

Those companies that ignore their new found legal "rights" from Bush - would face no tax penalties whatsoever. Those that take advantage of them - to gut the environment - should face a tax penalty so severe - they are forced into bankruptcy. It should be a harsh - and extremely severe tax. It should be a punishment so terrible, that no industry in America would want it imposed on them.

And THEN if it is still possible to add any fines to this, do so.
