Was he anti-tax or an OCD level miser. Ask his wife and associates, he probably avoided paying
everyone he could. There is more to this and it looks like an innocent worker paid with there life.

1. I agree. I knew a group of guys in the late eighties that refused to

pay taxes for years(saying taxes were not constitutional). Well, for about six years they didn't pay any taxes to the IRS. Well, eventually they plea bargained with the IRS, and got 5 years probation, plus a fine and restitution with interest. I think they learned a lesson the hard way.

What I learned long ago was that you don't mess with the IRS. You gotta pay you taxes one way or another. Two thing sure in life; death and ...

2. We underestimate the problem of being a miser. It not the amount but the obsession to
amass and never give up even a nickle. I've known people that had to have a court guardian to pay the light and gas bills who were worth millions.

They just could not part with it.

3. I used to know one of these guys in PA. I have NO doubt he is a 'bagger now, and
jumping up and down with delight that that asshole in Texas killed a federal worker.

Sick bastards.

6. He was a follower of some clown who told him he didn't have to pay
Federal tax, so he didn't. Went to trial and told the judge he was not under the authority of the court, etc, etc.....the judge called him a fool, fined him and made him pay back taxes and penalties. He nearly lost his house and business....Oh, yeah, he was another small business man who thinks he is superior to everyone who is not.
A first rate asshole.

7. He was part of the same group Scott Roeder belonged to
Just a bunch of terrorists who murder to make their point. But they aren't Muslims so we are all safe.
