Quote:Hey, I'm just going with what you said in the other topic. Don't see how $4800 is any less unreasonable than $1,000,000.


And I don't see a problem with the Federal Government charging people in exchange for a service on their land. If a private organization did it, you'd be fine with it I'm sure.

Your right if a private company purchased 155 million acres and wanted to charge for access id be fine with it, why because that is commerce. The government is not a commerce organization, it's representation of the people two completely different roles. When you mix governments complete authority and use it as a tool for commerce you have violated the markets ability to compete and control cost.


Again I ask what is the purpose of these permits other than to fund another federal agency?
