Maybe the guy should just pay his taxes (like the rest of us). If he earned the income, then why can't he pay his share of our taxes? Why is he complaining now that he opted not to pay his share? The rest of us should be the ones who are complaining. This guy probably has credit card debt, is underwater on his mortgage, etc. Obviously he still hasn't realized that he cannot afford his nice house, middle class lifestyle, etc. and that the rest of us (who pay taxes) should not have to pay for these things for him. Sounds like another American dead beat with an inflated sense of entitlement.

I was expecting a revenge fantasy series with impossible long distance shots and stuff like that. What a letdown.

I watched the 3 video/previews and after seeing....ummm.... well, I don't know what I was supposed to see. I don't even feel compelled to click on their link.
Other than someone is having problems with the IRS, it looks like every other Reality TV show.
Poor choice of clips from the producers.

Should go well with that new NBC series, BITCH HUNTER.

Wouldn't it be better to, say, help people to stay out of trouble rather than after they've had their assets wiped out?

You know I get the humor angle but unless you've had the IRS come after you I don't think you have the credibility to make fun of it. My brother nearly committed suicide due to an IRS debt that was brought on by an accountant his company had that was pocketing the tax payments. They had started garnishing his wages on the $30k+ debt and were taking 70% of everything that he earned. His family had to move in with us. The IRS would not listen or did not care about how the tax debt happened. They had an IRS Agent assigned to his case and he would show up at his house until they couldn't afford to pay the payments and then my house when they moved in with us. So I saw this all first hand. The IRS Agent might as well have been a collector for the mob. His arrogance and threats were constant. The tax problem wasn't really my brother's fault but the IRS didn't care. Revenue Office Brian Adkins based out of the Orlando, FL office even committed he needed to get this case cleared off his case load. My guess is that's how their performance and pay are assessed and calculated. I applaud anyone that sheds light on the IRS and their tactics. Most people don't realize that this type of thing goes on in America. We eventually were able to sell some of his assets and I co-signed a loan so he could pay the debt off, but hell, he'd already lost everything. If my brother is any indication I'm thinking it most happen millions of times of years. It's easy to make fun of what you don't understand. I hope and pray you never face this situation since it's like have the Gestapo after you.
