MSNBC will assert this guy was a “tea bagger”.

Who will be first?

Kieth O’?

Rachel the Carpet Muncher?

Seems the IRS pushed him over the edge.

Who knew they infuriated communists as much as the rest of us?

Also sounds like he failed at filing taxes properly...for an engineer....kinda of stupid.

I actually feel sorry for the guy. He clearly lost his marbles and went over the edge. I don't agree with his final choice and wish he had reached out for help and found some way to cope with all his problems.

I don't want to change the subject, but I do whole-heartedly agree with his overall sentiment that the IRS/Tax law is broken. It struck a chord with me when he remarked about how you are required to sign your tax return and what that signature entails.

It made me think that when you do that, you are taking a yearly gamble that you won't run afoul of the tax law by making an innocent mistake that gets the attention of an IRS agent who is having a bad day and decides to run rough-shod over you to the fullest extent of their authority. Even if the matter is ultimately decided in your favor, how much hell will you have gone through? How much money would you have paid to CPAs/lawyers to represent you?

I don't mind paying my share - and I have paid a *ton* in my time - but the whole shebang needs to be changed. I don't care if its Fair Tax or Sales Tax or whatever; anything has to be better than what we are doing now.

Joe Stack suffered from a catastrophe of faith.

His writings tell us that his faith in government collapsed. So he was a progressive.

A hard core statist who in the end discovered the fraud of statism.

The inevitable result of a faith which worships the false god of state.
