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.
Well said!

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?
