That is really the issue - it's another attempt to redistribute income

If that really is the issue, you are looking to blame the wrong people.
It isn't the environmentalists, it's the capitalists. If we are buying
all the out-sourced, pollution intensive products of the eastern
economies, who's pollution is it really? The Chinese, or ours? Part
of the "attractiveness" of out-sourcing is, in addition to the dollar a
day wages, companies don't have to put up with our pesky pollution
laws.


If you really get down to it, it's not the environmentalists nor the
capitalists. It's the consumer ... looking for the lowest prices for
products and the highest return on their stock market investments.

Ultimately, yes, but it seems to me quite shortsighted. We are still the
world's marketplace, but how long can that last, when all the jobs are
overseas? I still don't understand, how all those dollar a day workers,
are going to buy our products.
