Ammon Bundy runs a Phoenix-based company called Valet Fleet Services LLC, which specializes in repairing and maintaining fleets of semitrucks throughout Arizona. On April 15, 2010—Tax Day, as it happens—Bundy's business borrowed $530,000 through a Small Business Administration loan guarantee program. The available public record does not indicate what the loan was used for or whether it was repaid. The SBA website notes that this loan guarantee was issued under a program "to aid small businesses which are unable to obtain financing in the private credit marketplace." The government estimated that this subsidy could cost taxpayers $22,419. Bundy did not respond to an email request for comment about the SBA loan.

Gee, wonder why Ammon didn't go to his county or state government for the half million dollar loan, since he doesn't recognize the federal government?

16. All the Republicans do this, just look at the Republican Governors who call for Federal aid

whenever anything happens in their states. Check out Texas as one of the worst. Yet the Texas Governor spends hours trashing Washington. Look at the Republicans congress and senate people, who went to college off the Feds, or got food stamps. But now since they live off taxpayers funds and will get a good pension, they are against those items.

17. Not to go all Godwin

but who names their kid Ammon? The only other I can think of is Amon Goethe, the Nazi concentration camp commander so chillingly played in Schindlers List by Ralph Fiennes.

18. The loan needs to be called immediately

Since they are mooching off the government call in the loan. His Dad owes the U.S. Over a million dollars use this as a chip.
