My New #1 Reason I Hate This Recession...
...because nearly every day I get another letter from some near-bankrupt city, state, county, or other taxing authority which says basically:
"we have this vague, non-fact based hypothesis that your company owes us a lot of taxes you are not paying. To avoid the determination that you owe us lots more money for some unproven or unspecified reason, you must send us approximately a two-inch stack of information that it will take from 8-10 hours to prepare, including..."
The most recent of these just came from the state of Michigan. There are several taxes that I don't pay because they clearly do not apply to me, but I just got a letter saying basically they will assume I owe them unless I fill out a four page form and send them a bunch of detailed financial information.
RRRRRRRRR.
