我希望数字（像我这样的人的数量）越来越大以至于不能被粉饰掉，以至于唤醒那些沉睡的美国僵尸（麻木的民众）起来暴动；它会席卷一切。我希望我的行为不可避免地触动政府作出双重标准的、下意识的反应，这个反应就是他们推出更多更愚蠢更苛刻的对民众自由的限制 … 这些限制会惊醒人民，让他们看清楚这些高傲的政治暴徒极其走狗的本质。可悲的是，虽然我耗尽此生努力相信暴力可以避免，但我终于醒悟，暴力不只是答案，暴力是唯一的答案。在这个残酷的笑话里，高高在上的那堆屎们一直知道真相，却始终利用真相来愚弄和嘲笑我们这群愚昧的P民。
我曾经读过，荒唐，就是重复同样的无意义的过程一遍又一遍，却期待突然能有个好结果。我不要再痴迷于这种荒唐。是的，国税局“老大哥”们，让我们玩点儿新花样：收下我这磅肉，然后去死吧！（暗指飞机撞大楼的自杀攻击）。
共产主义信条：各尽所能，按需分配。
资本主义信条：敛自愚民，贪者多得。
约。斯塔克

= 关于最后一句的翻译 =
最后一句堪称经典，是斯塔克对人生和政治领悟的精要。原文是
The capitalist creed： From each according to his gullibility； to each according to his greed。
这句话是根据马克思的“各尽所能，按需分配”改编来的：
The munist creed： From each according to his ability； to each according to his need。
现在网上除了我的翻译外有几个不同版本，有的更对仗一些，有的意思更准确些，现罗列如下，大家选自己喜欢的吧：
1。 各尽欺能，按贪分配
2。 骗轻信人之财，填贪婪者之欲
3。 盲从轻信，贪得无厌

If you’re reading this； you’re no doubt asking yourself； “Why did this have to happen？” The simple truth is that it is plicated and has been ing for a long time。 The writing process； started many months ago； was intended to be therapy in the face of the looming realization that there isn’t enough therapy in the world that can fix what is really broken。 Needless to say； this rant could fill volumes with example after example if I would let it。 I find the process of writing it frustrating； tedious； and probably pointless… especially given my gross inability to gracefully articulate my thoughts in light of the storm raging in my head。 Exactly what is therapeutic about that I’m not sure； but desperate times call for desperate measures。
We are all taught as children that without laws there would be no society； only anarchy。 Sadly； starting at early ages we in this country have been brainwashed to believe that； in return for our dedication and service； our government stands for justice for all。 We are further brainwashed to believe that there is freedom in this place； and that we should be ready to lay our lives down for the noble principals represented by its founding fathers。 Remember？ One of these was “no taxation without representation”。 I have spent the total years of my adulthood unlearning that crap from only a few years of my childhood。 These days anyone who really stands up for that principal is promptly labeled a “crackpot”； traitor and worse。
While very few working people would say they haven’t had their fair share of taxes （as can I）； in my lifetime I can say with a great degree of certainty that there has never been a politician cast a vote on any matter with the likes of me or my interests in mind。 Nor； for that matter； are they the least bit interested in me or anything I have to say。
Why is it that a handful of thugs and plunderers can mit unthinkable atrocities （and in the case of the GM executives； for scores of years） and when it’s time for their gravy train to crash under the weight of their gluttony and overwhelming stupidity； the force of the full federal government has no difficulty ing to their aid within days if not hours？ Yet at the same time； the joke we call the American medical system； including the drug and insurance panies； are murdering tens of thousands of people a year and stealing from the corpses and victims they cripple； and this country’s leaders don’t see this as important as bailing out a few of their vile； rich cronies。 Yet； the political “representatives” （thieves； liars； and self…serving scumbags is far more accurate） have endless time to sit around for year after year and debate the state of the “terrible health care problem”。 It’s clear they see no crisis as long as the dead people don’t get in the way of their corporate profits rolling in。
And justice？ You’ve got to be kidding！
How can any rational individual explain that white elephant conundrum in the middle of our tax system and； indeed； our entire legal system？ Here we have a system that is； by far； too plicated for the brightest of the master scholars to understand。 Yet； it mercilessly “holds accountable” its victims； claiming that they’re responsible for fully plying with laws not even the experts understand。 The law “requires” a signature on the bottom of a tax filing； yet no one can say truthfully that they understand what they are signing； if that’s not “duress” than what is。 If this is not the measure of a totalitarian regime； nothing is。
How did I get here？
My introduction to the real American nightmare starts back in the early ‘80s。 Unfortunately after more than 16 years of school； somewhere along the line I picked up the absurd； pompous notion that I could read and understand plain English。 Some friends introduced me to a group of people who were having ‘tax code’ readings and discussions。 In particular； zeroed in on a section relating to the wonderful “exemptions” that make institutions like the vulgar； corrupt Catholic Church so incredibly wealthy。 We carefully studied the law （with the help of some of the “best”； high…paid； experienced tax lawyers in the business）； and then began to do exactly what the “big boys” were doing （except that we weren’t steeling from our congregation or lying to the government about our massive profits in the name of God）。 We took a great deal of care to make it all visible； following all of the rules； exactly the way the law said it was to be done。
The intent of this exercise and our efforts was to bring about a much…needed re…evaluation of the laws that allow the monsters of organized religion to make such a mockery of people who earn an honest living。 However； this is where I learned that there are two “interpretations” for every law； one for the very rich； and one for the rest of us… Oh； and the monsters are the very ones making and enforcing the laws； the inquisition is still alive and well today in this country。
That little lesson in patriotism cost me 40；000＋； 10 years of my life； and set my retirement plans back to 0。 It made me realize for the first time that I live in a country with an ideology that is based on a total and plete lie。 It also made me realize； not only how naive I had been； but also the incredible stupidity of the American public； that they buy； hook； line； and sinker； the crap about their “freedom”… and that they continue to do so with eyes closed in the face of overwhelming evidence and all that keeps happening in front of them。
Before even having to make a shaky recovery from the sting of the first lesson on what justice really means in this country （around 1984 after making my way through engineering school and still another five years of “paying my dues”）； I felt I finally had to take a chance of launching my dream of being an independent engineer。
On the subjects of engineers and dreams of independence； I should digress somewhat to say that I’m sure that I inherited the fascination for creative problem solving from my father。 I realized this at a very young age。
The significance of independence； however； came much later during my early years of college； at the age of 18 or 19 when I was living on my own as student in an apartment in Harrisburg； Pennsylvania。 My neighbor was an elderly retired woman （80＋ seemed ancient to me at that age） who was the widowed wife of a retired steel worker。 Her husband had worked all his life in the steel mills of central Pennsylvania with promises from big business and the union that； for his 30 years of service； he would have a pension and medical care to look forward to in his retirement。 Instead he was one of the thousands who got nothing because the inpetent mill management and corrupt union （not to mention the government） raided their pension funds and stole their retirement。 All she had was social security to live on。
In retrospect； the situation was laughable because here I was living on peanut butter and bread （or Ritz crackers when I could afford to splurge） for months at a time。 When I got to know this poor figure and heard her story I felt worse for her plight than for my own （I； after all； I thought I had everything to in front of me）。 I was genuinely appalled at one point； as we exchanged stories and miserated with each other over our situations； when she in her grandmotherly fashion tried to convince me that I would be “healthier” eating cat food （like her） rather than trying to get all my substance from peanut butter and bread。 I couldn’t quite go there； but the impression was made。 I decided that I didn’t trust big business to take care of me； and that I would take responsibility for my own future and myself。
Return to the early ‘80s； and here I was off to a terrifying start as a ‘wet…behind…the…ears’ contract software engineer。。。 and two years later； thanks to the fine backroom； midnight effort by the sleazy executives of Arthur Andersen （the very same folks who later brought us Enron and other such calamities） and an equally sleazy New York Senator （Patrick Moynihan）； we saw the passage of 1986 tax reform act with its section 1706。
For you who are unfamiliar； here is the core text of the IRS Section 1706； defining the treatment of workers （such as contract engineers） for tax purposes。 Visit this link for a conference mittee report （synergistech/1706。shtml#ConferencemitteeReport） regarding the intended interpretation of Section 1706 and the relevant parts of Section 530； as amended。 For information on how these laws affect technical services workers and their clients； read our discussion here （synergistech/ic…taxlaw。shtml）。
