Thanks for all of your kind words, and for wishing me luck. I have never lived in the USA so I cant state either way that our taxes are worse or vice versa. It would nonetheless be a nice pointless debate. My tax problems are mainly due to a company I incorporated in 2000, I lost all of the money i invested in this company (which was almost all of my money), and since I lost that money I didn’t have money to pay the taxes owed for that year. In 2001 my business partner screwed me over so a similar scenario occured where i could not afford paying taxes. I could barely afford paying a lawyer, and I had $50 bucks in the bank at one time. Of course during all of this time interest and penalties accrued on money that was lost in the first place.
A bankruptcy looks like the most viable option, maybe Revenue Canada would settle. I have had this Revenue Canada problem hanging over my head for the last 4 years, I would be more than happy if they could take everything I have so that I could get a fresh start. From what they are telling me they are ready to liquidate my bank account and cease my house, and I would still be paying for the next dozen years anyway.
I’m also sorry for this topic getting off course, it was supposed to be about how many people are attending the conference in Las Vegas.
