A Joe Stack of errors
In his note, Stark had excellent style but very horrible reasoning. Stack just took life as a joke. Also, he seemed to want change but provide nothing as to his idea of a better nation or a lack of a nation. Coming in first for both style and lack of explanation is his statement, "…violence not only is the answer, it is the only answer." I understand that he tried other methods of getting "something" done, but whatever he wanted, I fail to see how crashing an airplane into an office building would help. Besides, he still had moving from the United States to try.
I do not see his reasoning very wrong. I am saddened by the number of people who condemn him while they have either not read or not fully understood the key contents of the manifesto. What he wanted is equality and justice. His main point is that the government should not help the wealthy (big corporations, the Church) in times of hardship and totally ignore the poor.
He is not even anti-tax. The particular tax code he highlighted is not imposing taxes on him. It is a tax on any company that would hire him, and as a result most companies specifically refuse to do business with the type of business he is running. What is more, that tax code is not even providing any extra revenue for the government, but who refuse to repeal it because they find the process too complicated.
He tried peaceful method and no one listened. By crashing his plane into a building his voice is finally heard, and I think it is likely that the law will be repealed as a result. If it doesn't happen, people who suffer from the law would resent the government even more than before.
Either way, Stack will have achieved by violence more than he ever had by peace.
The only thing he achieved was getting a few people to read his rant ... and contrary to your belief he was anti-tax. In a democracy, if yelling at the government doesn't work, you talk to your fellow citizens until there are enough of you to change the government. You don't fucking start killing people who happen to have taken a meager job working for the government.
