Cruel and Unusual Punishment
There's a constitutional prohibition against “cruel and unusual
punishment.” Apparently that's news to the EPA, which just levied a
$16 MILLION dollar fine on one farmer for having the temerity to
build a small, earthen dam on his own property without coming to
them, “hat in hand,” and asking permission from some nameless,
faceless bureaucrat to do something that SHOULD be HIS decision. A
bureaucrat who has NO financial or personal interest in his farm.
This in spite of a court decision putting such things “on hold.”
They just IGNORED that. That this will RUIN this farmer and allow his
family to starve—unless, in their “fairness,” they allow him to
go on welfare, which will mean he, and his family will then be fully
dependent on the government for even their daily bread. This is an
excellent example of how this government TRAMPLES honest people these
days. This USED to be a free country. Not any more. If he fails to
pay, they'll probably send a SWAT Team to take his property at
gunpoint. And if he opposes them, they'll KILL him.. The EPA thinks
it can control every mud puddle in the country, from whatever source.
If I pee on the ground, they'll probably try to control what's left
on the ground. (Hot Air)
