Imagine that Republicans abolished your local police department, saying that protecting people from theft and bodily danger gets in the way of economic growth.
The Environmental Protection Agency protects people's property and health. There is no more "Free Market" right to pollute than there is a free market right to beat up your neighbor or pour acid in his swimming pool.
Pollution itself is a government program. Politicians grant the right to pollute to their political supporters at the expense of the rest of us.
The attack on the EPA is an attack on the environment, your health, and any real notion of a free market.
