Sier Kelly Kameyer had such a tax problem. He had huge paper capital gains during the tech boom, owed heaps of taxes, but before he could pay them his share prices went to near zero. Tax people want loot, so there was no way out for him. He ended his life in suicide. Of course there were other emotional issues for him, so it wasn't totally cause and effect, but the tax position was [I guess] the dominant factor. Governments, including New Zealand's, spent up large on the back of taxation of borrow and hope paper profits. Now, tax takes a crashing and governments have no way out other than telling hordes of government spivs to get real jobs more suited to their talents - or continuing to destroy their tax paying population who will one day rebel.
