[Mishmash] Why We Should Trust Governmentr Workers

[Hugh Gigante]

I pay my taxes direct.

This is how my conversation with our local town tax department went:

Me: "I don't have a bill for this quarter's taxes."
Clerk: "They have not been sent out yet."
Me: "Aren't they due on January 10th?"
Clerk: "Yes."
Me: "Can you tell me the amount so I cvan pay it?"
Clerk: "No. You can't pay without the bill."
Me: "When will bills be sent?"
Clerk: "later this month."
Me: "Will there be a late fee."
Clerk:" Of course. All the taxes will be paid late because we sent the bills out late. The law says we must charge a late fee if they are paid late."
Me: "Who made that law".
Clerk: "We did."

There really should be a license people need before they are allowed to breed!
