I've often wondered whether the oppressive nature of our society, or at least the direction in which it has been and continues to move, paints people into corners where they feel their only answer is to lash out with violence.
Let's take the tax code as one of a myriad of examples of how complicated it has become just to survive. Most of America is just not able to comprehend the tax code without hiring a professional. Each year you have to reinvent the wheel just to do your taxes. Now, multiply that by daily transactions of increasing complexity (court and legal system, business regulations, firearm laws, etc.) and it's easy to see why people get sooo frustrated. While I'm not justifying why people snap, I can absolutely see the WHY of it. We have built this system where representatives want to justify their high paying and powerful jobs by creating laws where no laws are necessary. In my opinion, this will likely be one of the causes for the downfall of our nation. -- Overregulation to the point of paralysis.
