“Bundy has paid fees to the Nevada county.”
People can rationalize Bundy’s actions all they want but the fact remains that the county refused the money and informed Bundy that he owed the money to the US government. He knew then that the county wouldn’t take the money because it wasn’t their land.
Since then he has refused to pay the BLM what they are legally owed. The BLM works for the taxpayers (whether they do a good job or not is irrelevant) therefore by not paying BLM, Bundy is stealing from US taxpayers.
Bundy isn’t a Lexington Minuteman, he is someone who used something that didn’t belong to him for many years, ignoring numerous warnings and court orders and doesn’t want to pay for it. I don’t think he is much different than a welfare cheat.
He’s not stealing anything. He didn’t take anything from you. What I’m against is BS regulations like ‘grazing fees’ is about tantamount as taxing the air you breath that some liberal bureaucrat thought of to squeeze US citizens out of their earned money.
Oh the reason that the Feds cite as a pretext moving in on Bundy is because to protect the “endangered” turtles or tortoises. No, that’s not the reason as pointed out to you above. As it has been reported the Feds killed off 1,000 of these land turtles “for reasons” of overpopulation.
Good effort in convincing the rest of how misguided we are. I’m certain Harry and Rory Reid are very thankful for your support.
I agree.
Only if you don't know the whole story... Example: I rent you an apartment for 600 dollars you have a family of 6. You have a lease for 20 years.
I tell you after 5 years you can still have the apartment but you can only have 1 person living there but the rent is still the same.
The law states I can't do this and until I change back to the original agreement I can not enforce the rent legally.
The BLM told Bundy the same thing he was not allowed to keep his 900 or more cattle on the property anymore he was only allowed 150 Cows on the property BUT he had to pay the same fees.
Its why the government could never force him to leave the land until they used the tortoise angle. Then its revealed the BLM is euthanizing 100s of tortoises. So it was all BS from the get go.
If it was a simple matter of non-payment of rent he would've lost in court over 19 years ago. He didn't!

You can xx-port this BS all you want... I guess.
My grandfather had a farm, 180 acres within what IS WICHITA Kansas today.
His deed was signed by president Grant...
They took it and now it’s part of the airport and a golf course.
He got nothing for it...
