From Rustbelt Intellectual via Brad DeLong, some thoughts for tax day.
NewMexiKen is reminded of the woman who wrote my office at the National Archives asking us to do research for her. We could make the records available I wrote her back, but we couldn’t actually do the research. Back came an irate letter culminating with the assertion that I was denying her “the only government service” she’d “ever requested.”
I wanted to write back and say then how the hell did I get your letters. (But I didn’t.)
