Don’t worry, just tell them that your hard disk drive crashed and you will get around to it eventually.

Squeezing money out of the poor and desperate. It’s a sound strategy — the poor and desperate will go running to the polls to vote for Democrats so that they can get more “free stuff”.

Apparently they have the ability to change the law at their whim.
