This shit is a big deal. These farmers are badasses. Check this one out, dude kicks the K9 in the face and gets tased 3 times and stays on his feet like a fucking boss. Skip to :45
Let's put some perspective on this. Bundy owns 900 head of cattle and therefore is making a good bit of money. He isn't some poor farmer struggling to make his way. If this guy decides he is no longer going to pay grazing fees, taxes and claim sovereign citizenship, well fuck him.
Sorry to inform everyone, but being a tax cheat isn't protected under the first amendment.

TL;DR version is dumbass rancher doesn't pay taxes for 20 years and is now getting his property auctioned. This in turn sparks up anti-government people who think this is a case of the big bad government taking over. The original video posted has so many discrepancies it's not even worth validating with discussion.

Rok, I am disappointed in you. The version of the story you've put here is also grossly misinformed......It's about a hell of a lot more than taxes man...
Here's a YouTube interview with an Arizona Sheriff. This is law enforcement who is agreeing with Bundy's position and saying that the Federal Government is grossly out of line.
I'll let you guys do the rest of the research on your own as to all the intricacies behind this. Hint: Look into endangered tortoises and oil and gas rights.
Notice how all your information ignores the tax evasion portion of the story. Your propaganda videos are weak, and if you think this is all about turtles and natural gas then you are buying into libertarian hype.
The main players involved in this from "Sheriff" Mack to the Bundy family are just religious fundamentalists who don't believe in paying taxes.
You want to talk to me about the paint on the wall, while I'm exposing foundation, bitch.
Well listen here hotshot. It costs money to do business in the USA and if you avoid paying the piper in the form of tax then you can get the fuck out. Sovereign citizenship mentality mixed with Mormonism is not a good look Vermi, I expect better of you.
