WHO IS ON OUR SIDE - GOVERNMENT OR BIG BUSINESS?

As I see discrepancies between the way people are treated by Government and Business, I want to share them with you. Normally I will just list the discrepancy and let you make the decision as to which is morally and ethically correct. If you feel that the difference is something to be concerned about, I would encourage you to write to the appropriate people.

SUBJECT - Due date on bills.

Government - Payment is considered late if the envelope containing the remittance is postmarked after the due date. If the due date falls on a Sunday or Holiday, the due date moves to the next day.

Big Business - Payment is considered to be late if it arrives at the office after a specified hour on the due date. It does not make any difference if it is a Sunday or Holiday and there is not mail delivery on that day, nor does it specify the time of day that the mail is delivered or picked up at the Post Office.
