Rick's post reminded me of a conversation I had a while back with some pitiful excuse for a human being who is such a loser that they can only find employment as a government stooge. It went like this... word for word as best I can remember...
Pathetic Government Loser (PGL) - "Sir, it appears that you have failed to pay the fee to be included in the Indiana Workforce Development's retraining program for unemployed Hoosiers. When can we expect remittance of your $175 inclusion fee?"
Me - "Never. I would rather not be in that program."
PGL - "But sir, this fund helps Hoosiers right here in Indiana who have lost jobs and need re-training. It is really beneficial for Indiana families."
Me - "That's fine, but I do not wish to participate in the program."
PGL - "Well, sir, legislation passed by the Indiana House requires that all businesses in the state support this program."
Me - "Are you telling me that I have no choice?"
PGL - "It is the law, sir. And besides, it's really helpful to... (blah, blah, blah)."
Me - "So if I don't give you money, you're going to send government gunmen to assault me. Is that correct?"
PGL - "Well I don't know, sir. I can't really say what will happen."
Me - "Well if you disobey a law, at some point a guy with a gun will come after you... right? And you're telling me that this is a law."
PGL - "Sir, this program really benefits Indiana's unemployed workers... (blah, blah, blah)"
Me - "Yes, you said that. If I send you $175, will you go away and leave me alone so that I never have to be threatened by you again?"
PGL, laughing uncomfortably - "Sir, this is an annual program that requires ongoing annual fees."
Me - "So if I give you money, you'll go away for a year, and then I have to give you more money so you'll go away again?"
PGL - "It is an annual program, sir."
Me - "Yeah, you said that."
So I send them their money in order to keep gunmen from coming to my door to assault me and repeat the process every year a thousand times over for every stupid government agency in existence (this week it's the BLM... again).
It's no wonder no one in this country starts their own business anymore. Our founding fathers would have shot someone over this.
