So Cliven Bundy owes upward of $1M in fees dating back to the 90s

[Orrex]

But if I were to fail to pay $200 local tax, my wages would be garnished for that amount plus about $2000 in fees, or more.


How the hell was this offensively wealthy asshole able to suckle at the guvmint teat for a quarter century, but they bring the hammer down on ordinary people after just a couple of years?

Sure, they're coming after him now, but in the meantime he's profited handsomely by grazing his cattle on public lands, and I'm sure that he's raked in far more than the $200 that a local tax evader would be able to scam.


Seems fair.

1. Bundy and Trump have much in common.

Both are lying violent thieves.

[Orrex]

3. And racist. Don't forget racist.

[guillaumeb]

4. I cannot believe I forgot racist.

And misogynist.

[Orrex]

8. His list of horrible traits is too long to keep track of

Easy to forget a few here and there.

2. Seriously, put him in prison

sell off all his land and cattle to raise the money to pay what he owes. Leave the family with nothing so this crap never happens again.

5. His advocates would whine that you're over-reaching, but too bad for them.

People in my town have lost their homes over tax debts of a few hundred dollars, so it's absolutely appropriate to scale-up the asset seizure when the offender owes a million dollars plus fines.

6. Now that the fascists control the entire government,

the chance of anything happening to him are slim and none.

[Orrex]

7. I'm worried about that

After his sons' unambiguous victory in Oregon, a second win would ring the dinner bell for racist far-right anti-government extremists.
