Joe Stack is, was, a software engineer who today has chosen to end it all and attack an IRS building in protest to his perceived treatment. He leaves behind a suicide note that should be read by everyone reading this. It is available at these links: link1, link2, link3. Whether or not you personally agree with his actions, it’s important to see what an average man has been driven to once utterly destroyed by our economy and regulations. Here in California, with our 20%+ unemployment, one has to wonder at what point the social fabric we all count on will show signs of strain, and at what point it will break. Joe’s level has been reached. It is sad that he has chosen this as his ultimate revenge on the government.
