    Fools? Might that also include a person that hands over money to a government official without actually knowing what he's paying for?

    Where did i not state i clearly Fckd up? Yes i was a complete idiot for that mistake, i completely own it (despite telling the counter lady i wanted the plates for INTERSTATE use and even checked a box on the back of the form stating interstate use only). I believe in correcting my mistakes however rather than abandon and donate my hard earned income to the government. How "foolish" am i once i get my money back?

    Anyone who is for the government not refunding someones money for a honest mistake or or if you are just so dang cool and loaded that you no longer care about anything other than your money and your problems is a enemy to me. I despise government leaches and see all gov as a necessary evil at best. Honestly anything less is UN-American!


    This could be 1$ or 3000$ and it does not matter to me. Get out of my pockets and do your job 100% perfectly or you suck. 99% of the gov workers I have encountered in my life would not survive 2 weeks in the private sector.

    I am from Cleveland though so if you know what it is like around here you can feel me.

    Sorry. This is about the only thing in life I am so hardlined on. Gov should be itsy bitsty teensy weensy and anyone who earns a living working FOR the people should be doing whatever it takes to help within societal laws.

    Good luck getting your money back. No way will they refund any portion of the IRP plate. You can't get the IRP at just any DMV, have to set up electronic account, snail mail or a trip to Madison, Wausau, and do a walk in. Or use a service.

    I think it's relative. Yes it sucks to give 300 to the govt but to me personally 300 is too little to fight over. I'm just a company driver and I make from 353 minimum to 500 a day at work so if I took a day off to go fill out some refund forms, I would still lose out even if I got the refund. To some of us like myself, time and not stressing out is more valuable than being cheap. It's priceless

    I agree with you in the sense that the only people can fight/catch/pass along gov issues are people that have time. IF you have time and you are American you are obligated to wake up thinking of ways that your gov can be downsized!
     
    Oxbow Thanks this.
