Texas man flies plane into IRS building

I ain't sayin' he's right, but I understand.

Chris Rock loves Obama! You must now commit ritual suicide. :mrgreen:

I understand too. Everyone hates paying taxes. Quite frankly I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. Hey, I have access to airplanes...

Actually if I go crazy and smash into a building, it's more likely to be the cable company...

The IRS is worse than any greedy, fat-cat, foreclosin' banker ever thought of being. I think it's kinda ironic that the only IRS dude to get killed worked in debt collections. There's no telling how many people that bastard has put in the street over, "interest and penalties".

Yes, people dying is funny. :shock:

You're aware that this particular IRS agent was not in charge of writing tax law, correct?

Most of them probably intentionally tried to defraud the government and got caught. I don't have sympathy for a crack dealer arrested by a cop, so why would I have sympathy for a tax cheat busted by the IRS? Hell, the crack dealer probably has less of a negative impact on my life than does the tax cheat.

Also, weren't you the one telling me about how you tried to get away with underpaying your taxes repeatedly, then threatened the tax collector when he audited you?


edit: I'm reminded of nothing so much as the people who call soldiers murderers simply because their jobs put them in a situation where performance of their duties caused the death of others.

The only movement Beck has is a bowel movement. He latched on to the Tea Party after the fact; he certainly didn't have a hand in its creation.

Maybe not, but it shows he was thinking on the same lines everyone else was thinking of so that everyone just coincided one another.
 
Would Beck be backing away so hard if there were no parallels between his daily vomitus and what this man did?

Glen Beck does not promote violence or revolution of any kind against the government. In his book, Common Sense, he tells of how our early ancestors gave us a means of non-violent revolt, by voting out these dictatorial despots at the voting booth.

Really, you understand how someone can decide they want to murder people in an act of terrorism because they didn't like Taxes?

That's...pretty impressive. I wonder if you exude such understanding to other terrorists or if its only to white guys you kind of sympathize with....

Some, sure, but not all. Unless you have some info to support that comment.

And you called me a liar, remember? I've never underpaid my taxes. I've always paid exactly what I owed, according to the tax code.

Sure, let me just link to that comprehensive study of the subconscious thoughts of tax evaders.

And you called me a liar, remember? I've never underpaid my taxes. I've always paid exactly what I owed, according to the tax code.

If two IRS audits each found that you had to make additional payments, then by definition, you didn't pay what you owed according to the tax code.

My, how compassionate.

How about people paying their damn taxes! It's not difficult.

You made a statement of fact. I only asked if you had anything to back it up. I know how you're a stickler for source docs.

The tax code is just like any other law, it's open to interpretation.

What about people who gt their houses siezed on account of penalties and interest, with no tax liability?

Obviously most of you have never had a run in with the IRS. Just wait!

No, but he's in charge of it's intepretation and he is always right...according to the law.

I said "most people probably." I don't know how you could possibly interpret that as a statement of fact.

Oh, so as long as you think you shouldn't have had to pay that extra money, then you didn't actually underpay. Interesting logic.

My dad said his two fears in life were outliving his children and being audited by the IRS. Guess who came knocking a few years ago? He said it was the worst week of his life, but he came out only paying a little bit.

The IRS agent was pretty hot, at least.

You would have been jumping up-n-down for proof of that exact statement if anyone else would have made it.

Do you take writeoffs? Or do you look at your gross and just pay the taxes on that?

And, yes, that's exactly right.
 
Or, half of PBO's krewe? How come none of them had their homes siezed, or got put in jail?

You're arguing that Obama's officials should have had their homes seized or been thrown in jail for doing the same thing that you did?

Did you have your home seized?
Were you thrown in jail?

It's like watching someone call Teddy a drunk while finishing a bottle of scotch - just surreal.

I would rather take an ass-whippin' than go through an IRS audit.

The same thing I did? I never evaded taxes. Be careful with the accusations.

I didn't go four years without paying taxes, like the head honcho of the IRS did.
