> I get it, filing taxes could be easier but it isn't No, I don't think you really get it. This isn't about taxes. The problem is that a private corporation has corrupted the federal government to such an absurd extreme, that it has abdicated it's responsibility to it's own citizens. That's why this is such a big deal. The fact that it happens to be manifesting through tax filing is a relevant detail, but not really the point specifically. > What about on the scale of things that government is inefficient at Again, you don't get it. The government is not inefficient. In fact, the government is so hyper-efficient at solving this problem, that private companies had to draft legislation outlawing the government from solving this problem, just to protect their inefficient lazy duopoly.

>The problem is that a private corporation has corrupted the federal government to such an absurd extreme, that it has abdicated it's responsibility to it's own citizens. I think you're being a little hysterical on this point. It isn't that big of a deal. No human rights have been infringed on. >The government is not inefficient.In fact, the government is so hyper-efficient at solving this problem, that private companies had to draft legislation outlawing the government from solving this problem, just to protect their inefficient lazy duopoly. The government is SO efficient that they are able to be corrupted by a tax company. And not just any government, a superpower with a $20 trillion economy!! Here's the thing - to you this is an outlier, to me this is a intrinsic property of every government. That is, the fact that governments will draft policies that aren't the most efficient, or may not be in the best interest of the largest number of people is normal (and not necessarily a bad thing)!! That is what makes government inefficient - because being a gatekeeper, they are very susceptible to attempts of corruption - so all kinds of interest groups, from corps, to unions, to activists, will attempt to skew it towards their positions.
