Just because you are pissed at the IRS,

[hi_im_god]

just for the record no one at my work discussed this at all.

i hope if the conversation starts tomorrow it doesn't run along the lines here.

when you start sympathizing with people flying planes into buildings you've moved outside my comfort zone.

i guess i still need to get used to the idea that's a normal attitude.

God, I feel like there were some people who said that some other time someone flew a plane into a building.

Weird, I bet if the ethnicity and motivation were different that you might feel a little less "you go girl" about the whole thing.

I knew a guy with family that committed suicide in his 30's due to IRS money owed ... sad thing. It wasn't an insurmountable amount of money, he wasn't going to lose the house or the kids' college funds or anything. Nobody could figure out why he did it, other than he was completely stressed over it, felt the IRS was an immoveable wall, the penalties, etc.

I thought the IRS has become "kinder, gentler" lately? Or just grossly understaffed and unable to come after folks?

I dunno, in my own businesses, I have paid the IRS what and when I gotta, so I guess I've escaped any nightmare dealings with them.

So, was plane guy just one of many individuals that take the stand that they have no taxes to pay to the government, due to their interpretation of the Constitution, etc?

i didn't know anything about it til late afternoon when my husband mentioned it. what hasn't been brought up here is he also burned his house to the ground. i guess his wife and daughter had that coming?
i don't get why people these days want to take a group with them when they go. used to be that folks just offed themselves, now they want to go out in a blaze of glory.

wonder if the one irs employee is still missing? it didn't sound like they were holding out much hope for him.

as for the 'irs' having it coming-to those who said that...these guys are employees. they don't write the code. this would be similar to getting pissed at a meter maid because you parked illegally.

I feel bad for this guy's family, and the families of those injured or killed. The guy was deranged to do this sh!t. I hate paying taxes as much as any red blooded American but I never blamed the IRS for having to pay taxes. I know people who work for the IRS. Good people who have all kinds of political views. Working to make a living, pay the bills, feed the kids. We heard all about this guy being a tea-bagging psycho. We heard all about the shooter at the Holocaust museum being a red neck white supremisist( howeverthefukitspelled), but the Fort Hood mass murderer can't be called a fanatical Islamic Jihadist killer? Don't want to offend anyone? Time to call a pig a pig. This guy was the ultimate Coward. Like all terrorists.

I agree with you. Unfortunately, this has combined the guilty until proven innocent method of the IRS, with a cowardly act of a deranged person. But just because one is unjustified, doesn't mean the other is.

The law is the law. Unfortunately, everyone owes what they owe. Make an honest effort to pay it like most Americans. B!tching about it is one thing, going on a suicidal killing spree is quite another.

I'm not sure if you have ever tried to deal with the IRS, even after they finally admit you are right, but it is a very tortuerous process. It's so easy to say just pay what you owe, but in reality, that isn't how it happens.

no, they were not saying they agreed with flying a plane into the building
they agreed the IRS is abusive.

sorry you needed to take it another way
