You see, the tax code is incredibly complicated but for the vast majority it’s rather straight forward. Predatory services like tax preparation feed on the fear and insecurities of average Americans by pitching taxes as some difficult task. In reality, one only needs a handful of pages to get their taxes completed and sent in. This process would be even easier if the IRS did it for you, but politics is not a career of public service, but one to reap maximum personal benefit. We have no laws barring public servants working for the same industries that put them into office so there is a massive conflict of interest, and nobody to do anything about it. The power is not in people’s hands and never has been.
