On Thursday, Joseph A. Stack, 53 year-old, apparently frustrated with the Internal Revenue Service, crashing his single-engine Piper Cherokee plane into an Austin, Texas, Internal Revenue Service (IRS) building. Close to 200 IRS employees work in the building.
It is common knowledge that the two things most fear by Americans are the fear of dying and the IRS. It is also common knowledge that the IRS is the most hated agency of the Executive Branch of government.
The IRS guarantees a relentless pursuit of delinquent tax payers – through every means necessary. If you ignore IRS phone calls, notices, letters, they usually start an enforced collection. Going after everything you own, including your bank, financial institution, interest, dividend income, stocks, bonds, etc. In simple terms – “they don't play”.
On his website, Joseph A. Stack, left a suicide note with a detailed description regarding his actions.
In the wake of the unfortunate crashing of his plane and the injuring of innocent employees, what are your view about this unfortunate incident and what would you like to see change regarding the way tax collection is handled in this country? How can we better protect IRS employees? Do you think the IRS has a different set of rules for members of congress?
