Government tax scam

Lovely little tale from the always entertaining Coyote Blog:

In September, the State of California sent me a check for $81 as a tax refund. … Then, in December, the State of California sent me a notice that the $81 was in error, and I needed to send it back. … But here is the good part- they claim I owe interest and penalties for holding their $81 since September, despite the fact they sent me the check out of the blue and it was their error.

If the era of big government is over, I guess the era of stupid government is not. Or is that phrase redundant?
