Count Kostov Counts

Only a government could do this....

For the last three hundred years or so, the Count's family has had a tenuous grip on mental and financial health. But there were a few things we figured out. If we needed to get our money back from an impecunious peasant or a thieving merchant, we would send our bailiffs round to do the necessary. In the good old days that resulted in merchants without noses and peasants without homes, but it certainly ensured that debts got paid. Unless, of course, the Kostovs were the ones in debt.

If the bailiff did his job properly, we gave him a few kopecks out of every rouble he collected. 10% would be more than enough to keep the bailiff happy, especially as most of the bailiffs took the trouble to steal another 20% for themselves anyway.

Now let's see how our super efficient government manages to collect debts. The pinnacle of its wonderful machine is the CSA: child support agency. This has the general role of duffing up fathers who probably don't even know they are fathers until a letter with the results of a DNA test from a long forgotten fling turns up on the doorstep.

For every pound that the CSA collects, it needs to spend something on its collection efforts. How much am I bid:

10p - 2op- 30p or 40p?

Anyone think that they could spend 50p in the pound on administration?

If you think they spend 50p in the pound on administration, you are a wishful thinker. The cretins at the CSA manage to spend £1.85 on administration for every pound they collect.

This is so mind numbingly incompetent that the Count is going to have to resort to the Vodka and pray that a gun and a CSA cretin are not nearby: the results would be messy.

Essentially, the world in general and the taxpayer in particular, would be far better off if the CSA cretins did not exist. Their lives are 100% useless: they are costing money instead of making money. If they all went home and farted for 24 hours a day in front of the TV, they would be making a better contribution to society than they are at the moment.

I can't go on...this is too depressing...find me some vodka. Fast
