[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 176827, member: 704"] That was my previous point along with pointing out they really don't provide services. It's a scam. Lets look at Chase Lake in Stutsman County. No roads, no people living there, Fish and Wildlife provides the fire protection, Fish and Wildlife provides the management, why do they need the fed to offset taxes? No roads to maintain, no kids in school, no fire protection needed, many of the Fish and Wildlife have law enforcement authority, there are no services provided. I guess I have to change my mind about some political things. I am conservative not republican. Even though I have in the past thought of democrats as socialists and republicans as conservatives I have been wrong. There are democrat socialists and republican socialists. I live in the country, but recognize that the feds paying to replace taxes on federal land is simply another wealth redistribution scheme where they take money from the cities to pay the rural taxes. I guess both parties buy their votes one way or another. Democrats with outright welfare, and republicans with hidden welfare. I just came back from vacation. With Trump in office the logging trucks are running full steam. There were logging trucks on many roads in the Selway in Idaho, and in Montana the Bitterroot, the Tobacco Root, the Madison range, and all around Kalispell. So does anyone think they will be giving back federal money? Ya right. Edit: It would perhaps be honest and fair to reimburse counties at 10% for unforeseen services needed, and that's actually generous. Edit: We often hear the question "how much is enough". I went back and read the original article and guess what? I guess I might ask "how much is enough". [/QUOTE]
