What isn't well know except to people in the raw resource extraction business is The FEDs are HOSTILE. 50 years ago they started on small scale miners and mining claims. It is a slow squeeze to drive the people out always stepping up the pressure. To the general public they sell the moves as control of those devastating the land with pictures of the worst offences or practices the occurred 100 year before.
First they said you could not have a house on a mining claim unless you were mining the claim. Then it changed mining or not you had to file a plan of operation to keep a cabin on the claim. The it turned to you couldn't even have a cabin on the claim. Then you could only camp on the claim while you were mining. Then it moved to you could camp for only two weeks. At the same time they were doing this they were testing claims to see if you could make a profit mining the claims If not the claim was declared invalid and null and void. Of course all the restrictions they were imposing had a direct effect on the profitability of the claim. By 20 years ago thousand upon thousands of claim had been declared invalid and thousands of homes were destroyed. I can show you the foundations. All this was done while provable perjury of federal agents were getting by in federal courts. So the miners are almost all gone.
Then they started on the logging industry. Regs and fees were slowly upped and then the loggers agreed to a big compromise called RARE II where huge tracts of land were withdrawn from logging so logging could go on in the other areas. After that happened a little bird called the spotted owl was declared endangered and All the rest of the federal land was basically removed from logging. Of course at the same time the USFS is intentionally burning hundreds of thousands of acres of forest because it is GOOD for the forest, even extended crown run fires. Now the logging industry is dead except what is done on private land.
This is now the fate of the ranchers. Remember where it was said that Bundy was the only one left in that valley? Wonder what happened to the rest? A slow squeeze to drive them all out. Bundy knows this and that is why he is reacting the way he is. It isn't about him not paying fees. He knows that is the continuing steps to drive him out by making it unprofitable. Those that try and comply and be good citizens give up what has now been made unprofitable. Bundy knows they don't want the money, they want him GONE! They probably spent more on rounding up his cattle than he owes. BLM-mission accomplished- high fives!
Of course all of this has been encouraged supported and forced into court by environmental groups.
