Water Rights Fee

I got my bill in the mail for <a href="http://www.montanaforum.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=4378">water rights</a>. I find the statement that a persons bill could be up to $400 dollars a laugh.<br />n<br />n<blockquote>Individuals can expect to pay $20 per water right every two years for the next decade. People with multiple water rights will pay up to $400.</blockquote><br />n<br />nMy bill comes to just under $600 for two years. Almost $3000 dollars over the ten years. Thirty three percent more than the article quoted would be the maximum. I love the way they, the government, lies about these things. It makes things sound better I guess. Just another way to tax farmers and ranchers to death.<br />n<br />n<b>You don't pay taxes – they take taxes. Chris Rock</b>
