So I've been inspired to share my wonderful respect for taxes.  Don't get me wrong, I definitely think there are worthwhile programs.

First problem: US mail.  If they're going to charge an arm and a leg to ensure delivery of certified mail, you better freaking deliver it.  I want my money back.  USPS lost an extremely important application that could affect my medical career.

Second problem: stupid scientific research funding.  The FDA wins a Darwin Award for funding a team of scientist to each food-coloring color.  And there aren't just four colors- there's blue #1, blue #2, etc.  So each subcategory gets a team headed by a PhD.  Granted, food safety is a priority, but this is pretty ridiculous.  My solution: re-home the research mice to parents who argue that food coloring is linked to developmental disorders.  Chasing mice should solve any ADHD problems.
