And folks are worried about a lady who turned down $1.8 million, and owed $25,000 in back taxes on her pig sty.
Whatever you think of her decorator, it is her property, to retain or dispose of as she pleases.
If it is such a pig sty, how did she run up $25,000 in back taxes?
What does that have to do with the Bundy's and the increasing Federal Encroachment/land grab in the West? To a great extent, either affects basic private property rights, but the Western issues take in the acquisition and accumulation of property by the Federal Government and others who benefit from government action to distress the properties in question, (action which may be taken as a result of court rulings in cases instigated by the party which benefits).
In the west, that means land which has been productive will be removed from being productive, more often than not.
In the Kelo decision based eminent domain cases in the East, the land is allegedly going to be taken so it can become more productive (for the local tax rolls, anyway), even though the projects which will allegedly produce that extra tax money often do not come to fruition.
