I can't say for sure if violence is the answer. It definitely is not when directed at innocents trying to get through their work day. But Joseph Stack was right about the IRS and the American tax system. Something has to change. I hope his actions start a conversation which can lead to this change.
Linked at the bottom is The Smoking Gun's archive of his manifesto and explanation for why he targeted this building in Austin today, which houses IRS offices.
excerpts:
Here we have a system that is, by far, too complicated for the brightest of the master scholars to understand. Yet, it mercilessly "holds accountable" its victims, claiming that they're responsible for fully complying with laws not even the experts understand. The law "requires" a signature on the bottom of a tax filing; yet no one can say truthfully that they understand what they are signing; if that's not "duress" than what is.
I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stop this insanity. Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let's try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well.
