He is also having a big "what if" involving the state stopping to worry about coastal erosion which isn't something they are trying to stop just for the evil landowners and corporations
It's not a "what if." It's a fact. Without tax payer support, the mash does not exist as we know it for the future generations.
Do you think you could articulate to everyone who isn't a land owner or lease holder that they are confined to the couple hundred thousand acres of WMA marsh? All the while their tax dollars are going to help restore and slow erosion on YOUR private property that in large was caused by YOUR man made canals?
That's the problem. It's always been the problem . To try and suggest differently would just be childish.

Your tax dollars are saving the marsh so that it provides storm protection for further inland land. Not so you can fish it. Just as others have said that it is used for levees, but you can't just go do what you want on a levee (someone has the right to that land, go try driving up and down the levee for a while, someone is going to stop you). Hell, your tax dollars pay for the town hall, state capital, white house....let's just go walk into those places and use them up. Tax dollars subsidize farmland. You should be able to go pick all the produce you want for free.

This isn't how it currently exist so quit making it so.

Do you have proof that it was caused "in large" by the canals?
There are so many tax payer projects that are available to small groups. Also, just because you pay into the tax pool you can't say that your dollar directly impacted a project and if so you're such a small contributor to the overall amount that you are a small percent of a small percent of the funding.
