Pro environmental policies are racist, note.
They drive up prices of basic commodities,
which hurts the poor, who are least able
to afford them, and a higher percentage of the
poor are disproportionately minorities. If you don't
like it, that's too bad, its the standard logic
of the left.


Environmental laws if implemented with the goal of a cleaner
environnment and good jobs,

It is not the job of government to make laws to create jobs. If there is
money ot be made in cleaning things up, somebody will find a way to finance
it from the private sector and employ people.

as opposed to just ****ing with
manufacturers for the hell of it (i.e. "forcing technology") create
jobs which may employ minorities.

If it hurts the corporate bottom line then there will be less hiring of
lower skilled workers which tend to be poor and/or minorities.

The poor tend to spend their limited
funds on junk food, booze, dope, et al, which is why they're poor in
many cases.

They limit it to what they can afford. You're over generalizations are
insulting and wrong. Poor people tend to be poor because they are under
educated and there are too few 2 parent households, not to mention any push
to become educated enough. In African American neighborhoods getting good
grades can and spekaing well can get you into trouble with your peers for
"acting white." In Hispanic culture there is less emphasis on higher
education.



The far right is now just as insane as the far left if not more so,
seems to be the 'moral' (no pun intended) of the story.

They claimed the far right was behind the Welfare Reform Act, yet since it's
passage things have gone remarkably well and I don't hear anybody on the
left asking to change it back.

I'm no fan of the far right or the far left, I just prefer those on the
right because you always know where they stand.

They also would not sink to the level of the leftists who made cat calls
during the state of the union address as happened last night.
