Nothing prevents a state from offering more freedoms than the federal government requiresEPA is looking out for us
States suck...they always have
Politicians in states looking to lure away jobs from their neighbors will relax environmental standards to make a quick buck
If a state wants stricter standards than the EPA (like California) they are welcome to do it
The EPA looks out for itself.
It has grown in importance in it's own eyes.
States are better than the fed by a long shot.
It's the fed that sucks and always has.
If a state want's less stricter standards, that is their business.....not yours.
Why call yourself Rightwinger when you are really FarLeftWinger (big government nanny state lover) ?
The states have sold out their people for hundreds of years
If not for the Federal Govt keeping them in check....they would be open sewers
Horsecrap.
The states are more the people than the Federal Government.
If it were not for the Federal Government getting involved, this country would be a much better place to live.
The Federal Government has been protecting We the People from the terrorism of the states for over 150 years. Slavery, women's rights, worker protection, environmental protection, gay rights
More bullcrap.
Several states (most notably Wyoming) were giving women the right to vote in local elections long before the feds ever even thought about it. Hurray for them.
There were free states long before the emancipation proclimation.
And on and on and on and on......
The Federal Government has been nothing but an impediment to the social and economic progress of this country since it was formed (anytime it got outside it's 13 specific and enumerated duties).
However, those states who sell out the rights of their own citizens for profit or to appease their resident bigots get "corrected"
