If those who were interested actually looked back at the facts, you would find that Koresh was in violation of SEVERAL alcohol, tobacco, AND firearm laws. The ATF was not there to merely serve a warrant on unpaid taxes. They were there because of a LONG ongoing investigation into the selling and purchasing of tobacco and firearms, including fully automatic weapons, and semi-automatic weapons converted to full auto. The fact that he had also not paid his taxes was a side note. The ATF was there to enforce a warrant on SEVERAL charges. Personally I have absolutely no problem with him getting exactly what he deserved considering the abhorrent things he was doing to those that were there, especially the children.
As far as the OP, I am curious, who here actually has a problem with paying taxes, and why? I have no problem paying my taxes. I DO prefer to have it distributed better, but how else is the government supposed to function?
