Today’s target
ABOLISHEPA
Environmental Protection Agency
Polluting your neighbor’s land was already illegal. It’s called trespass.
Official story
What they claim to do
Protects human health and the environment through science-based regulation and enforcement.
Ground truth
What they actually do
In 2015, EPA contractors triggered the Gold King Mine spill, sending about three million gallons of toxic wastewater into Colorado rivers. Its definition of “waters of the United States” grew so broad that the Supreme Court narrowed it in Sackett v. EPA (2023).
The libertarian case
Common law already treats pollution as harm: nuisance and trespass claims let people sue polluters directly. Replace a slow, politicized, capture-prone agency with enforceable property rights and strict liability. Pollute someone’s land or water and you pay.
