I'm sure it is, but you shouldn't have a pity party/suicide for yourself when you find out you owe the IRS money when you're off flying around.

*Edit - either that or Capt Morgans post is spot on. He wanted to "save" his family by offing himself and destroying assets to prevent governmental control.


Either way, he's still a douche in my book.

If someone dies owing taxes, and they didn't have an estate remaining to pay the taxes, then the debt is written off. However, if they left any assets behind, those assets would be used to pay the tax debt. However, if he had insurance on said assets, then the debt might be collected through his insurance. But that would probably make this guy pretty happy knowing that a big corporation had to pay his debt.

the willy loman plan eh?

No shit. He could have at least stolen a bigger plane. We had some 15 year old kid steal a Gulfstream and fly from east of Atlanta to somewhere in Florida without anyone knowing. You'd think a grown man can at least get his hands on a G2. Maybe jack Al Gore's plane and then he can help save the enviroment too.

I was actually agreeing with him until the "How did I get here" bit.
From that point on, it's basically just self pity.

That said, no amount of dissatisfaction with the IRS, the legal system, or life in general can excuse his course of action.

I think he had the right IDEA, wrong target. I just hope the next one aims his fucking plane at congress instead. THEY are the source of the problems, and I HOPE TO FUCK he does it when everyone is there.

So we can get rid of one crop of bastards and replace them with another?

They will have to wait until next year for that. Well, unless they don't know.... hell, they already burned down the governor's mansion. Go Texas!

I thought of you when I was reading his words.

It was too whiney to be written by you which is why I linked it to the 'tard.

Well, 'tard's points of view are definitely the closest to mine on the forum...and probably out of anyone I know IRL as well. I think the biggest difference between 'tard and myself is that he has hope for humanity and for America, and I absolutely do not. So there's a certain amount of emotional detachment that comes with knowing it is only going to get worse. And when you see 'tards posts he puts a lot of passion and emotion into his view...because he wants things to be better than they are.

In regard to the plane crash, I feel for the guy because I believe I know how he felt as far as almost feeling like you're caged or whatnot....but there is no excuse to ever put innocent people at risk. Perhaps he doesn't consider them innocent since they work for the govt', but he could've killed a maintenance man, someone walking on the street, etc. etc. Completely unacceptable. If you're willing to die for your belief as he was, then there are much better ways of going about making your point.
