Hey, US Government?

[agilebrit]

I get that it's Very Very Important that I fill the census thing out and send it back to you.

In fact, I did it the day the thing arrived in the mail.

However, I'm quite miffed that you're spending my hard-earned tax dollars that could be better spent elsewhere to send me not ONE, but TWO letters letting me know, first of all, that the cursed thing was coming, and then an ADDITIONAL postcard telling me How Very Important it is that I fill it out and send it back. When I've already done so.

Also, I don't like your incessant TV ads. How many of my tax dollars were spent on those?

And you're the people we're supposed to trust with our health care?

Yeah, RIGHT.

Sincerely,

agilebrit, who is skeptical that you will ever do anything right ever again

Seriously, just give me the 2.5mil and I'll go door-to-door and grab people by the scruff of the neck and make them fill it out.

And government wonks have no idea what it's like at the pointy end of the stick or how real people in the real world think. What happened to them? I'm sure they used to be real people, once upon a time...
