And that's exactly like Bundy's protest. They're soul brothers, through and through.

The fees Bundy was being asked to pay were not onerous. Would have cost him much more to graze his cattle on private land.

The Tea Tax was not onerous. Come on, people can live without tea, for goodness sakes.

It isn't the amount, it's the imposition.

Have you ever talked to cattle ranchers concerning their view of range management vs the Fed? There are generations of enmity stored-up looking for an expression. Think it helped the relationship by having the dispute escalate to armed confrontation?

Sure, I'll give Caesar his due. But I think he charges too much taxes and targets minority vassal states and I don't think that is fair so I ain't paying his onerous fees above what is just.

The Founding Fathers thought the same way. That's why we are allowed to vote on who leads the country and makes those decisions.

You don't get to vote on who leads the country unless you are an Elector.

I, for one, buyth not this nonsense about some need for viaducts in our state. Needlessly complex and expensive and I will not pay for it.

Back in the news: Bundy son is likely off to jail for failing drug test during probation.

Son of Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy arrested in Utah | Reuters

Meanwhile, Cliven is still grazing cattle on the disputed land.

Both sons are scofflaws. They'll end up in prison about the time old Cliven drops dead from too many biscuits and the issue will resolve.
