The ugly New York state

There is little that you can do in New York State without the rigged system of expensive attorneys and corrupt bureaucrats. Insult to injury, I received today a letter from the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance with, in giant bold letters, NOTICE AND DEMAND FOR PAYMENT OF TAX DUE.

My taxes were paid on time, not a small amount, and this bill for $22.84 comes in an insulting way. Why not, thanks for being a good citizen and paying your taxes on time, or you made a small error and here's your taxes due. Now even the mail person can see that I'm a tax cheat. I'm not.
