Dear Mr. Worthington:
I am a True Christian™ living in Freehold, and a proud, regular tithing member (Gold Status) of the Landover Baptist Church family. After some unforeseen business setbacks, I was somehow not able to pay any of my federal income taxes in 1998, 1999, 2001, 2003, 2004, 2007, and 2009. As a result, the IRS put a lien on my house, my businesses, my cars, my summer home, my vacation home, my condo timeshare, my three yachts, my wife’s collection of impressionist art, and my stateside bank account.
My question is this, Mr. Worthington, should I fly a stolen airplane into an IRS building as a True Patriot™ protest against this outrageous Big Government confiscation of my hard-earned property?
Signed,
Oppressed in Freehold

Dear Oppressed:
I feel your pain. For several years during the Clinton administration, I refused to pay federal income taxes as a protest of that outrageous, big-spending Socialist regime. For a time I considered moving to Idaho, joining militias, signing up with Randy Weaver at Ruby Ridge, and collecting .50 caliber machine guns. Yet I found that whenever I got close to weaponry, many of my Vietnam-era physical maladies that kept me from serving my country in 'Nam came back with a vengence. I finally paid up when George W. Bush came into office just to get the Gubmint off my back.
Have you thought of looking around Teabagging chat rooms to see if some disgruntled True Patriot™ is willing to do it for a small fee, a box of tea bags, and a tri-corner hat? Flying a stolen plane into an IRS building is a noble thing to do and looks good on paper, but it's something that you might personally regret as the side of the building becomes unavoidable at the last minute. So, no, don't do it. Maybe a hired hand with bigger balls than you might be interested in Teabagging glory, however.
Regards and best wishes,
Monty
