Business Made Challenging »
Not so long ago, I wrote a piece about how many regulations are required to start a business around here. Guess what? License time again.
I've finally realized why the stupid fee is necessary. It is required so that they can afford to pay someone to do the paperwork. The bad part? They probably don't collect enough to cover the expense.
In our world, why can't the county just use their fancy database to print out a receipt saying "This is what you paid last year - any changes you need to make?" But no, they require you to indicate your revenue, calculate the tax (not that it's difficult), fill in all sorts of ID numbers and then mail the thing back in - or pay a few dollars to do it online. That's just stupid.
