DICTATORIAL EPA

{LEAD} How did the Environmental Protection Agency become so powerful that it is able to dictate to anyone? I understand it even has the power to enact laws in some cases and has altered facts to support its decisions.

I don't remember voting for any of the EPA officials or giving any of them the right to dictate.

Giving an agency that much power creates a scary situation and should be of concern to everyone.
