plane flys into building in Austin

[ShadowBolt]

I went and did my biannual flight review this morning and we saw a bunch of smoke in Austin while we were up. Looks like someone took a small plane and hit a building with it.

I can see the smoke from where I work. Some reports say it was someone upset with the IRS, which has some offices in the building. Could be a false rumor. Crazy stuff.

So killing yourself as well as innocent others is going to get the IRS and the political figures to listen??
The IRS is a business just like every other shady business in this world. Businesses are out for themselves not the individual.

He got pissed a long time ago and never took the blinders off.
It is unfortunate.

Friend of mine killed himself two weeks ago do to threats from the IRS... thought his kids would be better off with the insurance money...

Down here, at the poverty level, things REALLY suck...

The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several states, and without regard to any census or enumeration.

You can argue it hasn't been ratified all you want; if you don't pay taxes the Feds think you owe, after they take all your stuff, you WILL go to jail.

Is it "right?" I didn't think we had debtors prison.

If it was ratified, then unless you want to give up all other "protections" allocated to US citizens by the Constitution, you get the 16th Amendment.

Of course, you could just move out of the country... since there are so many other better places to live.

If you could get 12 people like me, who believe in jury nullification, you might do ok.
