As one observer noted in the thread where I found this: Actually if I owed the kind of money that rancher does to the government Id either have to pay it or go to prison. . Bundy is a Nevada rancher who has for decades refused to pay the federal government the fees required to allow his cattle to graze on public lands. Last year a federal court ruled that Bundy had to remove his cattle or they would be confiscated to pay the roughly $1.2 million in fees and fines hes accumulated. The confiscation began earlier this month, but was halted because the Bureau of Land Management had serious concerns about the safety of employees and members of the public. Bundy does not recognize federal authority over the land in question, and he and his armed supporters have repeatedly threatened violence against the federal government. Despite his lawlessness, Bundy has become a cause célèbre for many in the right-wing media. . mediamatters.org/blog/2014/04/15/fox-news-correspondent-they-used-to-string-folk/198898
