Woah! I prefer the Cole's notes version: "Goodbye cruel world".

TomsSVX · #3 02-18-2010, 07:34 PM

im gonna ***** about it cuz I couldn't make it on my own....

Tired of this whining ****... Don't like this country, ****ing MOVE!!!

Whiny *****es constantly *****ing that no one pays for their medical care, no one pays for my bills...

Option A: Get over it. Put your nose to the grind stone and learn how to use the system rather than fight it

Option B: Move to a different country where you can get all the hand outs you want

Option C: Kill yourself

I have never understood why they want to kill others when the do themselves in. I guess they are afraid to do it alone.

I read his note.
I feel his pain.
I have dealt with the IRS.
I have cashed in my life savings to keep a job that I had to quit a year later because of stupid management.

I have been divorced.

If I jump into my private plane its NOT to kill myself!

Or to kill people that I have never met.

There are SO many people that I HAVE met who REALLY deserve it...
But I digress,
I wrote this to a friend about five years ago.

OK it was six years ago.
I was freshly cut and still bleeding..

That when we meet a male on the street that we don't know, we don't look for strike points. They say we won't "carry heavy" everywhere we go. Boy are these ****ers wrong! Just kidding. It does get better, don't do anything that can damn your soul, or put you in jail. Life sucks, but it's all we know we got. Have a mimosa for breakfast, sit and watch the river flow by, tomorrow is another chance."

Tonight I had a mimosa, and when spring comes,
I am going to take my new dog, my best girl, go to the river,
and watch it flow.
Tomorrow is another chance!

there will be more of these kinds of actions. I just have that feeling.

To borrow from something on this matter I read elsewhere, publicizing this guy's sad "manifesto" only gives his destructive ideas oxygen to burn.

Sure; everybody has their demons, shortcomings and derailed dreams, but to my mind this sort of splashy meltdown is an affront to the millions of ordinary, average Americans who manage to work, pay taxes, work some more, buy houses, build communities, raise families, and otherwise lead productive lives.

I think you're right.

clif notes:

Because of the greed, corruption and ineptitude of the Catholic church, unions, big business of all kinds, and everyone in government, I got involved in a 'tax haven' scheme that turned out to be illegal. Fancy talking lawyers guided me down this garden path backwards and made off with all the money, including my retirement savings.

Then I went to school and became a software engineer. Because of the greed, corruption and ineptitude of the Catholic church, unions, big business of all kinds, and everyone in government, I got involved in a 'be your own boss' tax dodge scheme that turned out to be illegal. Fancy talking financial consultants guided me down this garden path backwards and made off with all the money, including my retirement savings.

Then I got some money together through the sweat of my brow, not to mention my continued self-employment and buckets of under-reported and un-reported income. But because of the greed, corruption and ineptitude of the Catholic church, unions, big business of all kinds, and everyone in government, I got involved in yet another tax dodge scheme (this one indescribable) that turned out to be illegal. Fancy talking military contractors guided me down this garden path backwards and made off with all the money, including my retirement savings.

Now I've finally had enough. But because of the greed, corruption and ineptitude of the Catholic church, unions, big business of all kinds, and everyone in government, I have chosen the IRS as my personal bogeyman and will sacrifice my life (and hopefully the lives of enough other innocent folks) so people will hear my story and WAKE UP AMERICA.

Regardless of the insanity or stumbling into points on his crazy manifesto...

Whether he has a point or not... it doesn't change one crucial point.

He is a murderer. He murdered people, and himself - to avoid responsibility.

That's deep and impressive Tom. You have great powers of healing in your heart.

This guy was unhinged, simple as that. It's dangerous to give his ramblings too much publication and airtime. There could be copycats.

Also he was none too inventive or positive. Why be a whinging martyr and fly into the IRS, when you could be Butch Cassidy and blow up a bank, fixing your money problems in the process?

Did anyone catch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_dmPchuXIXQ this kind of reminded me of it. Just makes me wonder why I struggle so hard to get through life and prosper.

As many times as I have been f***ed by the 'system', it is a wonder that I have not been in the headlines!!

I have 'suffered' ALL of the things listed in the 'rant'!
Right now, my credit report is being BASHED by parking tickets issued to a tag number that I returned to Md government over 4 years ago!!
I am ready to 'cause' DC government a host of damages! I will not explain here, but an airplane is NOT involved!

Story gets sadder. The guy burned down his own house before setting out to burn down the IRS building. I also read an opinion piece that claimed he tried to claim his house as a church for tax purposes, and the IRS denied it; but I can't find any attributions for that.
