If you're responding to me, you can stop.  I blocked you two weeks ago based on stupidity.  Unlike anton, I don't unblock people I deem too stupid post.

Since I brought up bureaucracy....

Do we need any more proof that Government is broken than the way they treat us?

I had a ticket for headlight out. I got it fixed and you need to take it to the court and they erase the ticket. The court closes at 4:15! What business does this. Government works like a small hardware store in 1937.

I overpaid my monthly payroll taxes by $28.  Or so the government said.

I got a notice that I'd overpaid by $28 telling me I'd be getting a check.
I got a check.
I got a notice saying I'd underpaid by $28 due to some clerical error.  I had 60 days to respond(or some period of time).
I got a bill for $28 plus interest. 
I sent a check for $33.
I got a notice that I'd overpaid by $33(or something).
I got a check.

I probably missed something because I got 9 letters from the IRS.  Over less than $30.

Tax dollars spent on 'tard abuse. Worth every penny.

Not really.  All I had to do was open an envelope and drop a couple of checks at the bank I had to go to anyway.   But it probably cost taxpayers about $300 of labor so I could get my $28.  I've been tempted to overpay by a steady declining number to see at what point the IRS won't send a check.

And did russo respond after I said "If you're responding to me, you can stop.  I blocked you two weeks ago based on stupidity"?   Because, if he did, he proved my point.

I'll have the Pol Pot Roast with extra marrow, please.

Really? So what do I do with this $100 prize you just won?

I guess its mine.

So this is what is wrong with every level of government. It is based on an old fashioned mentality. No one runs things like this anymore.

And if it was more convienent for the people, and they said that it should be I could at least understand that. It is actually worse and more expensive!

Wow, What a racket! I wish I had thought of that. By the way Mike, you owe me $33 dollars, please remit!!!

Send me 9 notices with most contradicting the previous one.

Good one. Now days it would probably cost $33 in postage to get it!

Obamanomics.   You keep the Post Office in business and at least one person employed by the government.

And why does the post office close at 5:30?

What business on the planet does that?

Almost all of them?

Let me redirect.

What I meant to ask is what business that deals with the public closes at 5:30?
