Looks like the IRS is much hated now following Joseph Stack's attack on the Austin IRS building two days prior.
The IRS and the Fed are both unconstitutional anyways, and they are ripe for looting.

I wonder if the fact that some IRS employees are total scumbags has anything to do with this.

Hey - what happened to the web design course? I see you’re on a Business Administration course now?
I’m not sure the IRS is actually unconstitutional, but certainly most of its current reach is.

People need to be kinder to the IRS employees. Once Bammie sneaks ObamaCare through, the IRS is going to be making all of your healthcare decisions for you. I imagine the CIA and NASA will also be involved in your healthcare decisions too.

"Some expressed the view Friday that public expressions of outrage against the government and government employees may have fueled violent crimes by Mr. Stack and others like him." This brings to mind the "chicken or egg" argument. Maybe the people woulkd be less outraged if the IRS was less outrageous.

killing himself and one IRS employee and injuring 13 others. That means 14 out of 200 fed employees showed up for work that day. Most of the building was in flames.

It is a shame about that. There have been IRS abuses of citizens though. But, the IRS doesn’t make the laws, they just enforce them, sometimes a little to vigorously. People should be ticked at congress who made all of these insane tax laws.

In reality, there is nothing ‘right-wing’ about flying a stolen Piper Cherokee into the Austin IRS building.

Following the attack, Inspector General J. Russell George said his agency will consider whether changes to security policies are necessary to improve safety. Bet things would improve with changes in other policies. But just a guess...

Most of the building was in flamesYep,, because the rest were out on annual leave, of which Fed employees get about 100 days per year not counting holidays. So they show up at an address, (can't call it work) about 200 days a year. Must be nice.......

Oh, yeah sure. It’s hard enough for me to work up any sympathy for the IRS when somebody plane-bombs them. If you can’t take the heat, stay out of the IRS.
I do feel sorry for the victim, Mr. Hunter. He was just trying to get his last year of employment in so he could retire with a fatter pension. Wrong place, wrong time.
