The Republican goal is to remove all government regulations. The Repub elite (1%ers) will continue to live in their vacation palaces in nice, clean environments. But the rest of us will be facing unlimited pollution of everything, so long as a buck can be made from it. And then we will be sold remedies like masks and bottled water to 'cure' the problems.

They have stated that they want to dismantle the EPA and other environmental regulations.
