So who is this guy, Joe Stack? His full name is Joseph Andrew Stack, and despite being noted as being a Texan, Joe Stack has spent time all over the United States, from the East during his college days to the West Coast in the 1980s to the middle of it all, Austin Texas today.
Joe Stack is the man responsible for the plane crash Austin. Evidently, Joe Stack, who owns the web site embeddedart.com, posted his list of grievances before he burned his own home and ultimately crashed his plane in Austin, into a building housing the IRS.
The Stack Manifesto, if you can call it that, is multi page account of Joe Stack’s progressive disillusionment with the institutions of this country and the way private enterprises are manipulating the system including, and up to the government itself in order to benefit their own firms, at the expense of the common Joe, no pun intended.
Few will see the logic in Joe’s manifestation of his frustration with his country, its government and its co-conspirators in what Joe sees as the subjugation of its citizens; however, many can relate to the actual grievances itself. Section 1706 of the 1986 Tax Reform Act is an affront to many individuals and to this day, many maintain that its existence is criminal, a concoction of the IRS with the help of the evil, now defunct accounting firm, Arthur Andersen.
