I wasn't talking about Yellowstone Park and other national parks. I think that's a good thing.
But 28% of the country owned by the Federal Govt?
Do you really think that is the role of govt. to be the biggest landowner of them all?
And I can tell you that there are plenty of places you can't go that are Federal owned because they have all their nukes and military secrets on them. Which makes sense I suppose if you are going to have the biggest overbloated military the world has ever seen.
But why should the govt. own 28% of the entire country? That just isn't right when it's supposed to be the opposite of monarchy style govt.
Hell, the Feds own 84% of Nevada. Maybe instead of rounding up the wild horses in Nevada (stupid fucking Washington bureaucrats) they could maybe take a little bit of money from their latest trillion dollars of military shit and build solar panels across the desert that would power the entire country.
Right now it's private companies doing it. But they don't have the land mass that the Feds have.
I don't know...I just don't understand how it's somehow "better" to have corrupt bureaucrats in Washington D.C. deciding these kinds of things for people living 2,000 miles away from them like I do here in Vegas.
Like I said earlier...how about "reparations"? We could start there with some of that 2.27 BILLION acres of land that the Federal govt. "owns".
And if you don't think that's too much, and you believe the Feds know "best" for all of us...then why not make ALL property belong to the govt.? Then they could decide all of it. If it's such a great thing for those billions of acres, then certainly it would be even better if they owned it all.
Then they could assign each citizen their own home and designate areas for bureaucrats to manage throughout the entire country!
What form of govt do they call that again? Starts with a "C" and rhymes with "fist"?
EDIT: How about this crockett...that 2.27 BILLION acres...give it back to the American Indian tribes?
