Slide 1: Austin American Statesman Watch interesting VIDEO about Austin American Statesman here: http://fff.to/Bsy The Austin American Statesman posted what it believes is a rant from the pilot that crashed into the IRS building this morning in Austin. In the extended essay, attributed to Joe Stack of San Marcos, Texas, Stack unleashes on Catholics, unions, the tax system, federal bailouts, former President George Bush, his accountant, and a particular section of the tax code that he considered “an atrocity.” He expresses anger at his inability to bill his clients while driving around Los Angeles attempting to fight this code: SEC. 1706. TREATMENT OF CERTAIN TECHNICAL PERSONNEL. (a) IN GENERAL - Section 530 of the Revenue Act of 1978 is amended by adding at the end thereof the following new subsection: (d) EXCEPTION. - This section shall not apply in the case of an individual who pursuant to an arrangement between the taxpayer and another person, provides services for such other person as an engineer, designer, drafter, computer programmer, systems analyst, or other similarly skilled worker engaged in a similar line of work. (b) EFFECTIVE DATE. - The amendment made by this section shall apply to remuneration paid and services rendered after December 31, 1986. Note: • “another person” is the client in the traditional job-shop relationship. • “taxpayer” is the recruiter, broker, agency, or job shop. • “individual”, “employee”, or “worker” is you. The rambling essay reveals that Stack may have been an engineer who may have lost his retirement funds when various Air Force bases closed in California during the 90’s. He blames the government’s response to September 11 for difficulties serving his clients. He ends the essay with an epitaph and puts his year of death alongside his name.
