Thank you Cliven Bundy! Now I don't have to pay taxes!

[underpants]

My wife is doing our return today. I can now tell her to just write "DON'T WANNA!"

Right?

I better make some sandwiches because lots of those militia types will surely be here to support me being a deadbeat. Right?

[Cirque du So-What]

1. A teabagger's wet dream

although I believe that spending a good part of the next few years in federal court will eff-up that wet dream.

[Orrex]

2. Do you have any cattle you can graze illegally?

That would really drive the point home.

[Nobel_Twaddle_III]

4. No cattle, but maybe we can go on public land and illegally cut trees.

Oh wait that happens every day too.

[Hugin]

18. X-mas this year may prove to be interesting. n/t

[DURHAM D]

3. I am going to buy a few sheep and

graze them across the street in the public park. Guess I will use electronic collars/fence to contain them. Hope the city doesn't mind if I hot wire the pole light to steal some electricity.

[PoliticAverse]

7. Next you'll be be building structures on public property and moving in.

Just don't be shocked when the government evicts you and take it all away.

[MattBaggins]

15. But if I get a bunch of armed whackadoodles to come support me

they will back down.

Terrorism pays in America now.

[underpants]

9. Ooooh! Another idea

Take the sheep to a park with fresh water (like Sherando Lake 90 miles from here) on a truck.

When the Ranger at the entrance says it will be $15 we just say, "Nope don't believe in it. We already paid our taxes".

As the Rangers follow us we stop and let the sheep off the truck and say, "Those are OUR sheep. We will be back for shearing season and when we need to take some to market "

Drive off. Win Win!!

10. sounds like a solid business model under the new rules, good luck with your

promising new business!

I myself am drawing up plans to provide cheap meat supplied by anything furry that moves and I can shoot on my newly claimed Adirondack state critter ranch. (my ranch is extremely large, comes free and is fully stocked!)

[underpants]

11. Critters is tricky

[Dragonfli]

12. a few thousand claymore mines deployed along my trails should make it less tricky.

I plan on having volunteer militia deploy them and collect the tons of meat they will provide for the pink meat slurry I will market for 50 cents a pound to a processing plant in China.

The militia will be compensated with all the meat they can shoot with the assault weapons they all own, I can smell the money now!

[underpants]

21. Claymore! Claymore! Claymore!

The tricky part is picking the meat out of the brush.

[MattBaggins]

16. I claim Saranac Lake

and the 1000 Islands including the Canadian side.

[Blue_Tires]

28. take the herd to your nearest Air Force base instead

I'm certain the "Bundy defense" will be just as successful

[TwilightGardener]

5. This guy grazed cattle for 20 years for free, on government land.

Now THAT'S a business model! Pure profit. Maybe I can start a wheat farm on BLM or National Park land somewhere. Or raise hogs.

[underpants]

8. That IS a great business model!!

Only slightly less awesome would paying nominal fees (in any context let alone in comparison to the damage done by your cows) which beats the hell of having to buy land.

[PoliticAverse]

6. Didn't work for Ed and Elaine Brown...

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_and_Elaine_Brown

[MADem]

26. The auction of their house noted that there could be mines on the property!!!

Feds Warn Bidders Of Possible Land Mines On NH Property Ahead Of Auction

?w=620&h=349&crop=1


CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Federal officials preparing to sell the New Hampshire compound of a tax-evading couple convicted of amassing an arsenal of weapons can’t guarantee that explosives and other booby traps aren’t hidden on the 103-acre spread.
In fact, they will openly warn bidders that land mines might be planted throughout Ed and Elaine Brown’s bucolic property in the small town of Plainfield. And they say prospective buyers won’t be allowed on the grounds until they submit a winning bid that frees the government of liability for dismemberment or death.
“It’s going to be a very interesting sale,” said Chief U.S. Deputy Marshal Brenda Mikelson, who’s in charge of the auction.
The Browns, who do not recognize the federal government’s authority to tax its citizens, were in a nine-month standoff with authorities in 2007 after they were sentenced to five years in prison for tax evasion. U.S. marshals posing as supporters arrested them peacefully.

13. How about

the feds cut your working hours by 70% and then tax you to go to work.

That would be a more apt analogy.

[Blue State Bandit]

14. Bundy should be denied all future access to federal funding...

such as disaster relief, farm subsidies, crop insurance and business/transportation write-offs. It won't be long before that area is hit by the desertification that has been ravaging the Southwestern states, and you know he'll have his hand out when it comes.

And when it does, he can ask the Kochs for help.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

20. He's probably gotten enough for the fees he owes from donations....

Now he gets to pocket those spoils.

[underpants]

22. Garnish his wages at market

Yeah congrats on your BIG WIN.... But we are getting our money

[Hugin]

17. One could drive however they wish on any Federal Road!

Don't feel the need to stop? Then DON'T!

Speed limits? HA!

I've had my eye on trailer space in a few National Parks. If anyone needs me, I'll be dragging the ol' doublish-wide in the middle of Yellowstone and HOMESTEADING!

W00t!

[Hugin]

19. It's very liberating!

The reflecting pool in D.C.? A private spa!

[Hugin]

23. Oh, and I guess the plans for an open air reactor are a GO! n/t

[NightWatcher]

24. Yep, cause that's exactly what happened

Thanks for breaking it down for us.

A 20 year long ordeal comes down to "I don't wanna..."

[Snarkoleptic]

25. When I go camping at the Chain O Lakes State Park this summer,

I'm going to tell them I don't recognize their authority and won't pay.
When pressed, it'll be time time to change my story to "I'll only pay my camping fee to the County" (not to that tyrannical State gubmint).
They will like my moxie and principled stand so much they'll put me up overnight in a local County facility.

[Matariki]

27. Well clearly progressives have been doing protests wrong.

Apparently having everyone armed gets results. Occupy - hope you're paying attention.

[cherokeeprogressive]

29. Can't say about the militia types, but I can pretty much guarantee...

There will be DUers willing to send the B-52s to light you up in a fucking heartbeat for disobedience to Big Brother.

Gotta love this place sometimes.
