Will C4n3p Favor Halliburton or the Environment?

At a time when Halliburton, Enron, and the oil company pirates are running amuck with no governmental oversight and our environment in crumbling around us, we might wonder what Carole 4-names, 3-parties (c4n3p for short) thinks about corporate irresponsibility versus protecting the environment.

C4n3p is no friend of the environment but she LOVES unregulated corporate pirateering! Here are my 5 favorite quotes from c4n3p's Select Proposals from Challenging the Status Quo, a statement of her political agenda:

1. "The General Land Office (GLO) should be ... required to target at least 5 percent of all underused lands for sale each year…."

2. "Less confrontational methods of ... enforcing environmental laws often can be more effective than traditional, punitive approaches. The Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission should aggressively market its Regulatory Flexibility Program to reduce onerous restrictions on businesses...."

3. "Create a Bill of Rights for business. Every business has the right to expect state agencies to provide ... a commitment to streamlining regulations...."

4. "A lighter regulatory burden frees businesses from bureaucratic chores...."

5. "Onerous recordkeeping requirements make the tax reporting and audit processes overly burdensome...."


Well, I guess we know who's on Halliburton's Christmas list!
