Joe Stack about as far from Tea Party as can be.

From reading the "Manifesto", here is how I think this dude is wired.
His first gripe is that he was scammed by some "elite" tax experts who knew better then the working man and the government and was gonna use creative means to dodge taxes., I'm guessing a "cooperation sole" or "straw man" thing. BLAMMO!! 1.He gets scammed $$ 2. the IRS has it's cross hairs on him as a tax dodger and one to watch 3.he has a huge kick to his "I'm smarter than everyone" attitude.
Next, some law is passed that keeps him from charging high fees for services to corporations. This area is grey to me..but it doesn't seem fatal to his survival. Stack admittedly spent more time crying about it in "The wonderful world o lawsuits" then billing his clients.
He sobs about the 90's base closings and .COM bust and on and on.
This guy is an engineer..who wants to be rich and probably DID have the IRS watching him like a hawk for good reason.
He crashes a plane into a building full of people to get the ultimate pity party from us. wah wah.
Life is tough. and if you get a "technical" job Mr Kamikaze perhaps you should be expecting a competitive market for your skills and not expect large sums of money tossed at you just because you believe you are "smart".
Tea Party to me is about government overspending what we don't have,utilizing our resources and prosecuting our laws effectively against crime.
Stack overspent,used his resources poorly and tried to dodge the tax laws.
I'm not seeing the connection.....
