As with any fringe nut they may make reasonable points at times. The bottom line..he just didn't want to pay taxes.
You got it. He obviously only accepted or received tax advice from fringe element tax advisors and made some very poor career decisions.
The thing that always gets me about guys like him is their lack of any sense of proportion. He must have agreed that he owed some taxes so what could the difference be? Another 5-10%? He goes through all of this, destroying his life, for what - a couple of grand per year?
The Unabomber dude was a genius, look at what he wasted his life doing.
I'd like to find out if this guy was ever on anti-depressants..this kind of stuff always seems to tie back to somebody on meds who stops taking them, etc. It's the big coverup in the Columbine incident, IMO. You put teenagers on Ad's and then already unstable people become psychotic.
I don't believe that killing yourself is justified but I could understand the rage against the IRS for tax code. Not even the IRS know's the tax code. If you get a lawyer they will get three, if you get two lawyers they get six, etc... The system in place prevents the 'middle class' from ever reaching a level of comfort that middle class people enjoy. He was having trouble because the tax code changes due to the lobbyist for the rich that tailor the tax law to them. Which middle class individual has $150,000 to give to a company that influences policy making. I call it bribery and official misconduct. Yes it is happening now. Look at your check. What is the percentage going to taxes? New tax law. What is your return as compared last year? What are the things you can use as a deduction last year as opposed to this year? It is slowing creeping into Amerikan Dream. National Health care would be great! At what expense? I make a decent lliving but every month it seems that I'm swimming against the tide with bills. I don't agree. But I can understand.
Giznot...the average middle class person will never have a tax situation that would require delving and interpretting signficantly complex sections of the tax code. Your argument is just dogmatic class warfare.
He was nothing but a coward to try to take out innocent people just trying to work in an office building.
My husband is a self-employed software consultant. The taxes are overwhelming - we don't expect to find some way to not pay them the way this guy did. It's tough and it sucks but we pay.
