They know the laws very well. They use their positions and the force of our too-huge government to bully citizens.
Not many of us can afford several hundred thousand dollars in lawyer fees to fight the government, and these Communist government employees rely on that fact.
I do not think they have learned any lesson as they will do the exact same thing to another citizen, knowing that the odds are in their favor that the citizen will enter some kind of agreement rather than spend money they don't have.
Heck, Obama's administration has been violating even Supreme Court rulings and getting away with it.
I see your point and agree. The EPA tries to intimidate and financially break people into submission.
The EPA employees and lawyers behave as if they have unlimited resources. One thing I believe they’re doing is making sure they’re spending so their budget doesn’t get cut. This so often happens in government .... spend or your budget will get cut.
To do this to innocent families is pure evil.
That's why a few hundred dollars in weapons are needed.
