First of all this whole movement to keep taxes a pain in the ass to file is extraordinarily infuriating and uniquely American in its idiocy. I'm in South Korea now and filing taxes is as simple as logging into a website, entering your SSN, and verifying that the information is correct. Completely free and takes 5 minutes.
Second, I'm tired of people blaming TurboTax. The headline says "Thanks TurboTax". No, TurboTax does not vote on laws, our Congressmen do. If any Congressman is taking bribes and voting for this bullsh!t, then the Congressmen are at fault and need to be voted out of office.
I decided to take a quick look at the bill to see if it's really as outrageous as the article makes it, but I can't even understand what the bill says. It's like a 30 page document of legalese. Where in the document does it say that the U.S. would be banned from offering free tax filings? Why the hell do laws have to be written like this to be so overly verbose and indecipherable to anyone without a law degree? There should at least be a succinct summary at the top.
