The Paperwork Reduction Act was enacted in 1980 to require federal agencies to fill out paperwork in order to request permission to require citizens to fill out paperwork.
phrased this way it sounds like a great idea
you can’t inflict it on others until you suffer it yourself, and maybe you realize how awful it is and stop yourself
