1986 tax law change was source of anger

Everyone in Austin has heard of the recent plane that crashed into a Northwest Austin building on February 18, 2010. Andrew Joseph Stack III was responsible for this crash because he was angry at the IRS. Before the accident he posted a rant online against a 1986 tax reform that redefined the status of some highly skilled technology industry contract workers. Previously, the workers did not have tax money withheld from their paychecks but instead made quarterly payments on their own based on estimated income. Stack was angry and looking for a way out of the withholding system. In the end he tried to "prove" a point, write a blog against the 1986 tax reform, burnt his house, and crashed his plane into an IRS building. 

I thought this incident was very interesting because nothing like this ever happens in Austin, Texas.  In the beginning people were thinking this was some sort of terrorist attack but instead it was an angry person who did not want to pay his taxes.  Instead he takes his anger out on the IRS and crashes his plane into a building which in the end killed one person.
