property seizure and can sue the heck out of people. I disagree that it would be decent or good to have a 'for profit' middleman also in that mix. It is already awful when the Federal Gov. like the IRS goes after people. We do not need to spend more of our Federal money on 'for profit' tax collectors who are ,given that kind of power over Americans. Not more red tape and costs.

The BLM already has very well paid 'private' contractors.

For example, the helicopter round-up crew who got Mr. Bundys cattle into the corrals were paid by the animal.

I know for wild horses that same private contractor is paid about $700. per animal. Even if the animals are released or die that day in the round-up corrals, we pay them out of our Federal funds.
