“You’re afraid of the government. We’re afraid of the corporations.”
This guy felt he was scrxxxed by both.
Funny, the TV didn’t mention he was commie.......;d
Yeah, he was a complete leftist, anti-religion, marxist wack-job. He even hates the meagre healthcare profits — a regular unibomber.
So even commies hate the IRS. ;-d
In other words, you read this guy’s screed and agreed with it. I’m sure you’re not the only DUmmie this has happened to.
And you know what’s funny? The same thing happened with Timothy McVeigh. He was supposedly this big rightwinger but you read his stuff and he sounds just like a lefty. He was even sending notes to uber lefty Gore Vidal towards the end, trying to get him to make his case to the public. You can google up KOSsac and DUmmie posts where they’re reading his stuff and saying “hey, wait a second, this guy makes sense!”.
And the idea that the left somehow has a healthy attitude towards the government is crazy. Under George Bush, the left was as paranoid and anti-government as any ideological group in our history has ever been. You guys hated the government and wanted everyone else to hate it too.
So spare us the BS, you silly fascist.
Tax cheat Geitner would have liked this guy:
“We carefully studied the law (with the help of some of the “best”, high-paid, experienced tax lawyers in the business), and then began to do exactly what the “big boys” were doing (except that we weren’t steeling from our congregation or lying to the government about our massive profits in the name of God). We took a great deal of care to make it all visible, following all of the rules, exactly the way the law said it was to be done.”
Joe Stack apparently suffered from a catastrophe of faith.
His faith in government collapsed. This paints him as a progressive.
A hard core statist who in the end discovered the fraud in statism.
The inevitable result of a faith which worships the false god of state.
You’re afraid of the government. We’re afraid of the corporations. . . . .
Who has the big guns? Who can throw you in prison? It ‘aint corporations. Who drives the economy? It ‘aint government. Really simple.
“Until we can find some common ground and work together, we’re destined to be slaves, comrad.....the both of us.”
Just look back in history: Teddy the Trust Buster. He had the power to bust up corporations. Name one monopoly that has survived. If a corporation can’t even keep the power of a monopoly, how does it pose a threat to people?
LOL. He should have applied for a position in zero's administration, especially he owed taxes.
Thanks for reconsidering and all the re-readimg of posts you did. That’s a good analysis, although I’d still assert he could have been a LaRoucher, and suggest that his anti-Zionism was secondary to his anti-Catholicism.
It’s not clear in his screed WHY he hated Bush. The whole thing only makes sense in small parts, if it makes sense then. As a whole it is confused, insane. A 24 year old grudge against Tax Law Section 1706.
This is a Twilight Zone time machine screed. It would have made a lot of sense THEN, say in 1989! OVER TWENTY YEARS AGO. It doesn't make any sense now.
I’m glad our fore-fathers were so strongly rooted in the freedom of the (real, biblical) Gospel of Jesus Christ; they were able to endure all maladies and hardships.
Well, maybe not Jefferson.
Yeah,and obambi hope and changey is ADDING more IRS to ensure confiscatory taxation to supply revenue to shore up their marxist intentions. Thatcher: The problem with socialism is that eventually you run out of other people’s money. Obama thinks that all money is the government and by his godlike self importance that means it is all his and the dems. The revolt is against ALL statists.
It is true that both the left and right are fighting fascism, by it’s true definition. We should all, for the sake of defeating tyranny, defeat corporate/government fiat (the creation whole cloth of “money” supported by— nothing). The Tea Party is a threat to both RINOs and Clintonites. This is by Bill and Hillary are working through their media pals (ie. media corporations) to discredit a pure movement of Constitutionalists— and, by the way that is strict Constitutionalists, not “it’s a living changing document and they didn’t really mean thaaat”. Have long thought there is much common ground- hippies and small business people both love freedom. Large corporations and their government enablers do not love freedom- they love dictating the rules to the rest of us. I have been there. Wait until you see what the Clintons are going to do, both to get rid of commie obambi, and to place themselves in the coopted position of “saviours of the democrat party” to try to get fence sitting center left suburbanites who cannot confront what they believe because they believe in their big screen plasma TV CNN and MSNBC. This guy’s manifesto is sad—both in that he did not get medical help, for all we know, and that he DID make a mistake in assuming a CPA would have only his interests in mind— has never been true. Thanks for your 3c- something we all should consider. The congress needs to change— and it is the lobbyists that need to be run out of town. Remember the fall of Rome.
Correction “why Bill and Hillary.....
Well not so fast. LOL. I have looked well beyond the Ron Paul talking points. He swings both ways. A bi-fascisti.
He has a nationalist socialist view on some populist issues.
( The middle class is being destroyed?...see upthread.).Measure the conduct of his supporters crashingthe GOP convention in 2008, definite fascist yelling and screaming there, saw it with my own eyes live. I do not trust Ron Paul
and neither do most conservatives.
The issue was taxes, and as you say, he had a host of other problems not dealt with throughout his life-personal problems unresolved. Throughout this screed he writes about accountability- it is not clear if he held himself accountable for the results of his decisions. For example- after 9/11 he couldn’t fly?— why? And if he couldn’t why didn’t he get in a car and drive, like the rest of us- to go take care of clients. Second- why would he not have done a little research before moving to “cheapskate” Austin- he would have found out quickly that, even though there’s no state income tax, in his field prices are therefore kept low. If he then decided to move, he needed to tone down the lifestyle. There is/was a lot wrong with this guy and he felt a need to write down the excuse for his actions- as evidenced by his final behaviour.
Reads like Ted Kaczynski. And certain elements of the Left thought Ted was OK making pipe bombs and delivering them to enemies of the Rousseau pure natural man. Thanks for posting this- which is hopefully not altered prior to your getting it.
Think it was Sheryl’s— he mentioned that. Undisclosed income was apparently hers also— maybe she is a musician. Someone is going to find her certainly and add to the mosaic.
Add to McVeigh the Unibombers manifesto which easily could have been Gore’s Earth in the Balance.
I’m not going to play the political blame game on Stack; the guy was nothing but a domestic terrorist and complete loon, whatever his political persuasion.
I will however defend those who are going to try and blame the Right or Tea Party movement - if that means pointing out this guy held positions identical to many on the left, so be it.
