you make it sound like this is a no-brainer, because this is all just a bs message board discussion... but if some politician came around and said "I want to increase taxes by 20%, we'll use those funds to improve environmental protection"... I'm pretty sure you would debate if having $1000s less income each year is worthwhile for a vague promise of "improve environmental protection"...

I'm not suggesting that there should be no environmental protection, but there needs to be a balance that will support robust economic growth, while preserving the environment the best we can...
