The EPA has done it's job, now it's time to disband it...

The EPA protects us from dangerous chemicals, being placed in our water, air, and land.
Its expensive for businesses to safely dispose of dangerous chemicals. The EPA makes sure dangerous chemicals are properly disposed of.
Would you go under your sink and into your garage, and fill a glass with all the chemicals in your house, and then drink the glass of chemicals ??
Without the EPA chemicals like those (and much worse chemicals), would be in our oceans, lakes, land, and drinking water.
