I've known half a dozen people commit suicide, some closer than others, but it's pretty bad on family and friends. * * *

I didn't get that as being Neeka's point at all. Many people get wiped out financially because of IRS policies. I know several people who were wiped out in 2000 after they had exercised stock options and the gains were locked in on those prices and then the stocks plummeted and lost all value. Now all of a sudden these people owed hundreds of thousands of dollars to the IRS because they had a momentary paper gain, but then lost all of their assets so couldn't pay. It's not like they were being irresponsible. Quite the contrary. and where i don't condone suicide as a solution under this or any circumstance, it's clear that IRS induced bankruptcies can bring on depression that can lead to suicide. interesting that you interpreted her post to be about suicide to avoid paying bills rather than the depression brought on by being destroyed financially by IRS policies.
