“He never owed any fees!
The imposition of fees was unlawful.
I hope they impose fees to your toilet seat next”
Finally someone that gets it. This government has so over regulated everything in our lives and we all just roll over and play dead. Well not this guy he is fighting back. Thank God the patriots at the Boston Tea Party didn’t just sit there and say,” We have to pay the tax on tea. It is the law”
What did laws do for the Branch Davidians, or Randy Weaver?
You know, you're right. I've been looking at this from the wrong end of things. I'm willing to admit when I'm in the wrong. When you take what our forefathers intended, and what they fought against, then yes, I support the rancher.
I've been looking at this from the perspective that the fedgov has controlled the use of the land for more than 130 years, and at some point established a fee system to improve rangeland that was, at times, overgrazed and mismanaged. The point is, the land should never have belonged to the feds, it should have belonged to the states. And what the states did with it is what should have mattered.
I'm from the west, and most of the land in the west is owned by the government.
I don't mind some set-asides for all to use, but we don't need percentages of half the state or more to be under federal control.
