Everyone's been giving me flack for feeling this way, but I read Joseph Stack's suicide manifesto and he didn't sound like a lunatic or a maniac. He didn't sound like a terrorist nutjob. He just sounded really angry at being fucked over by the IRS too many times. I get pissed off at our aggressive coercive government at times too, doesn't everyone? Our current tax code has become basically a financial rape instruction manual, and although I would never initiate violence against the government, my heart does go out to Joseph Stack, and I sympathize with him.
You know who I don't sympathize with? The IRS. I think they're a bunch of thugs, stealing from us, abusing us, and hassling us. They want to squeeze every bit of money out of us that they possibly can in their own self-interest and they're able to do so because they have the power of the state behind them. They have made us slaves to the enrichment of the government and if you work for the IRS (although you may not deserve to die), you're NOT innocent, you're a scum sucking asshole.
Whether or not violence is an effective means to achieving a non-aggressive government has yet to be seen, but goddamn it, they need to reform the fucking tax code (among other things).
EDIT: I've changed my opinion about the last part. I now think that you can only create a non-coercive, non-nonviolent free society with non-coercive, non-violent means.
