I have 'non-filer syndrome' as well.

Nation: If a top-aide gets away(maybe) with this then so should I because I am depressed my hard earnings will be given to welfare parasites and nanny state government programs. If that doesn't depress you then nothing will at this point.

A top aide to N.Y. Gov. David Paterson didn't pay his taxes for five years because of "non-filer syndrome," his lawyer says.

"These are very high-functioning people who otherwise can complete all of the ordinary tasks in their lives," Richard Kestenbaum, a lawyer who's representing Charles O'Byrne, tells the Daily News. "But there is something that they can't do, and many times that causes them not to be able to file their tax returns."

The New York Times says it couldn't find any sign of this condition in the diagnostic manual. Paterson, a Democrat, tells the News he doesn't believe "non-filer syndrome" exists.

All told, The Buffalo News says, O'Byrne had to pay $293,000 in outstanding taxes to the state and federal governments. "O’Byrne’s lawyers confirmed what has been suspected from information on his financial disclosure forms: that high-powered Democratic supporters helped pay off his tax bills," the paper says.
