What an A$$h01e.

Joe Stack. What a name. For those somehow unfamiliar youtube and idiots crashing videos, "stacking", it's "Australian slang for crashing and/or falling off something accidentally or falling down. Usually when operating a vehicle." [source: urbandictionary.com]

I read the article on NBC's website. Feel free to read it in its entirety- it's a relatively short article. I'm just going to comment on a few parts of it.

As the culmination of a longstanding grudge he felt for the agency, Joe Stack burned his house down before driving to the airport, getting into his plane and intentionally flying it into the IRS building in Austin, TX. His misplaced anger and insanity is detailed at length in his suicide note which can be read in its entirety here: Joe Stack's Diatribe.

His grudge was based upon a history with the IRS which appear to me to be entirely his fault and responsibility and easy to remedy. Maybe I'm drinking the kool-aid  but I were in his shoes, I just would have paid my taxes and gone ahead and ran my business.

According to California Secretary of State records, Stack had a troubled business history, twice starting software companies that ultimately were suspended by the state's Franchise Tax Board.

He started Software Systems Service Corp. in Lincoln, Calif., but that business license was suspended in 2004 for nonpayment of back taxes totaling $1,153, KCRA-TV in Sacramento reported. Another company, Prowless Engineering Inc. was suspended in 2000 for failure to file a 1994 tax return, according to KCRA.

Stack listed himself as chief executive officer of both companies.

 Furthermore, he left his wife and 12 year old daughter homeless since his house was burned to the ground. This joker owned a plane and had a family and decides to not only take his life but destroy as many lives as he can in the process. He blames everyone but himself for his self-imposed problems. Sounds like a Lib to me.
