The Feds hate individualists and the productive. They want him to move into town (Hairy Reid's Las Vegas) and become a GOOD tax slave/subject.
The guy's problem is that he lives too close to Las Vegas and within Clark County.
So what? It is not Bundy’s land.
If it were not the federal government’s land but say a different rancher, would Bundy have the “right” to demand that the other rancher lease the land to him? Would Bundy have the right to graze his cattle there without paying for the priviledge? No to both.
Bundy is trying to assert squaters rights on land he does not own and by Article 1 section 8, congress has the EXCLUSIVE right to legislate the rules of that land.
