So they cite Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, which was really capitulation and annexation through war. So who does he pay “the rent” to actually? It goes into a general till for Obama so he as the Executive can spread the socialist wealth around. You seemed to be arguing pretty hard here...
The *right* thing to do is to reverse fed regulation. You’ll notice that this rancher’s problems always start up when there is a Clintooon or the pResident Obama in office, and abate when an R is in office.
You will also notice his problems increased when he stopped paying rent.
Paying rent to use something you do not own is a pretty simple concept. We citizens have the right to expect our government to collect rent on public land they let ranchers use. Other rent paying ranchers don’t have the problems Bundys are having, and it’s not too hard to figure out why. They deliberately escalated it to this point and could have avoided it by just continuing to pay rent.
Not all of the grazing fees go into the general till.
Some goes to the Nevada Taylor Grazing Act Range Improvement Fund, from which the various Nevada Grazing Board of District Nos. allocate funds.
