EPA to Regulate Breathing

While the title of this article may sound excessive, it is actually factual. You see, the EPA, a government gang agency that is unelected, has decided that carbon dioxide is “a danger to public health.” This finding gives the EPA the authority to regulate breathing in the same way they can regulate lead paint, drinking water, labeling of soft drinks, and chlorine in water.

The EPA, once it has declared carbon dioxide a “threat to public health,” will have the authority to issue any regulation they desire, without anyone passing a law. The EPA will then be able to decide how much CO2 each person may emit on a certain day, and will have the power to throw you in jail or fine you, should you emit too much — even if the source of that CO2 is from your breathing.

Sure, it sounds far-fetched, but more important is the idea that a group of unelected bureaucrats somehow, in this government today, have the power to declare something a crime. These people have the power to regulate a gas that has been, and continues to be, produced naturally since the earth began. In America, a country founded on freedom and responsibility, a government agency is preparing to regulate cabon dioxide — which can only impact literally every aspect of every person’s life. There is no possible way any person can be free while the government can literally regulate your every breath.
