Then something certainly doesn't add up....Bundy has somewhere between 450 and 1,000 cow calf pairs..at 1.35 per head per year is a maximum of 1,350.00 per yr times 20 years is 27,000.00 or so...yet BLM claims the back fees are over 1,000,000 dollars....
there were 40-50 other ranchers in that area and the BLM put them out of business by reducing the herd size to a number that made it economically unfeasible to continue...
Armed US Federal Agents and hired cowboys began rounding up the cattle, sometimes using helicopters, in order to seize Bundy’s 1,000 head of cattle, putting them into a holding area in order to auction them to pay alleged back fees they claim Bundy owes the Federal Government. Those fees are reported to be over $1,000,000.

i will wager that if you dig deep enough you will find a pattern of the BLM changing the rules,fees,and services in order to run off the ranchers...then get the water rights, and use the land as a set aside for the developement of other BLM lands for political cronies..
This isn't Harry Reid's first rodeo,and he didn't get his aide/water boy (who is 35 years old ) appointed to head the BLM because of the guy's vast experience....think about that a bit please...regards,p1976 |
