I am saddened to be reminded of the story in your link, as I read it at the time it was posted, and was also saddened then.
I’m not convinced you have adequately eliminated other potential reasons he may have done the uncharacteristic thing he did. Even if he was in his right mind, I’m not convinced he had anyone’s interest at heart but his own personal one, as jobs are a form of social control. He desired to be free of this control. Even if individual liberty is worth fighting for, the Constitution doesn’t grant you the right to the job you want on the terms you want. That’s what the courts are for.
This guy was wrong to do what he did in every way but for the right reasons in a very minor way that is more a matter of principle rather than tax law. No matter his beef, it was just his own, and as such, it doesn’t justify so much as slapping someone’s hand, let alone the stunt he pulled.
I do see your point, though I disagree.
