That's not it entirely, Richard. The media are trying to portray the Bundy Bunch as poor dirt farmers.

In fact, they're millionaires with a sense of entitlement who got those millions by dint of Federal Government subsidies and by failure to pay their bills, notably their grazing fees.

They feel they don't have to obey the law or live by the same rules everyone else does.

Kinda like rich bastards everywhere.
