I thought anti-IRS types were supposed to be the "right-wing anti-government kooks" the media is always talking about.
Or, more reasonably, people who think the government is too big and should stay out of our wallets are usually conservative.
The guy from Austin, though, is a leftist. His manifesto makes that plain. And yet in between anti-business and anti-capitalism diatribes he'll take a moment to reflect on the fact that the government sucks at life and should stay out of everyone else's. It's almost like he had recognized just enough to where some people would start to reanalyze life and perhaps end up conservative, but this guy was so stuck in the leftist mindset that when THE GOVERNMENT of all things seemed to betray him, he couldn't take it.
Don't get me wrong, the guy's a nut no matter who he ever voted for, but I think what broke him was the confusion of ideas in his head, rather than some particular structural defect in the brain. Instead of solving the progressive riddle, he got mad and wanted to quit the game.
