EPA regs aren't what sent jobs overseas. Cheap labor and the ability to abuse workers is. The ability to poison everything around them with no consequence is a consideration, but it isn't the only one. It isn't like there are any serious consequences when they do it here.

Those damned minimum wage laws, insisting employees should be able to afford food. And OSHA! Insisting that employees should have a right to not have their lives endangered on a daily basis for pennies. Stupid EPA, insisting we shouldn't be able to poison municipal water supplies because we're too cheap or lazy to dispose of waste properly. All job killing regulation!

Right wingers would be funny if they weren't so sad.
